RSS and why I love it
Inspired by some discussions through Twitter/X over the last few days, I decided to write about RSS and why I love them. I think it’s a great technology that few people know about and I think it’s worth learning more about it.
One of the greatest things that the Internet could bring to us is data consumption. Do you already ask yourself how much data we consume compared with the past? How easy is it to just type something into a search engine and get a lot of information about it? Is just awesome.
But, with great power comes great responsibility. And with a lot of information comes a lot of noise. I’m a person who likes to read blogs and learn new things, it’s a great hobby and it’s cool to see other people sharing their thoughts about something, being tech or not. And by that fact, I, being a lazy person, was thinking so hard about how to keep up with all the blogs that I like to read.
And then, I found RSS feeds. I would say a cool invention from the 2000s that is still more useful for us nowadays than it was in the past. What a great idea would be just to aggregate every blog that you like to read into one place and just read it from there. Simple, but you can see how amazing is it?
