Move over dog, 2006 is year of the RSS

April 17, 2006 —

Way back in 2002, the RSS 2.0 spec hit the streets and Dave Winer was saying “move over horse…” But the groundswell failed to swell.

That was then. Technorati CEO and founder, David Sifry, just released some borderline alarming numbers regarding the state of the ‘sphere. I’ll let you all read the report as interest permits, but I want to push a single statistic on you: 75,000 new blogs are launching per day.

So, why not proclaim ’06 year of the blog? There are too many of them to digest, unless you roll with RSS. For my non-geek friends, RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS makes subscribing to blog content, quick, easy and… quick.

I’m not suggesting that the everydayman will be subscribing to 75,000 new blogs per day (or even that he knows what RSS is.) But, it is going to be hard to miss the RSS momentum that blogs bring. And so the groundswell begins.
