RSS for Mac OS X Roundtable

Thoro writes "There is an unusual interview with the authors of the five major RSS clients for OS X: NetNewsWire, NewsFire, NewsMac, PulpFiction and Shrook. Safari RSS, Apple, the hype around RSS and the role of the news aggregator in the future are discussed. It's also hinted that the performance problems of RSS may be overblown. It is a breath of fresh air to see so many competitors come together to talk civily and not to better gang up on another."

    That would assume one of two things.

    1. posters to slashdot actually possess grammer skills
    2. the mods actually care about readability of their news

    I wanted to comment on the claims that RSS performance problems may be "overblown", but all I get is 503 errors!
    Must be all those darn RSS users trying to get their slashdot feed on the hour.

    It is quite an honor when The Ancient Ones grace us with their presence.

    Do I count as an Honorable Ancient One, or at least a Mildly Inoffensive Old Guy?
