2006 - The year of RSS!
Great stuff about RSS in USA today:
RSS will become the biggest thing since … The Web browser? Beanie Babies? Salt? Hard to say yet. But there is no shortage of effusiveness about Real Simple Syndication, or RSS — software code used to deliver news stories, blogs and other items via the Internet to your computer screen on readers such as My Yahoo or NewsGator. The prediction is that RSS will become the primary way everyone accesses stuff on the Web.
“We believe 2006 is the year of RSS,” says Mark Carlson, CEO of RSS company SimpleFeed. Adds author and consultant Steve Waite, “RSS is likely to take off in 2006 and could well displace e-mail as the killer app on the Net.” (via teknokool).

Check out what others are saying about this post...[...] A lot of speculation about the role RSS will play in 2006 (see previous post). Jason Calcanis (Weblogs Inc) has some predictions for next year, on #11: “Half of the indie RSS readers will shut down, go out of business, or just stagnate as the major portals take over this space.” And on #11b: “No RSS readers will be bought in 2006 because every major buyer has already built one.” Well, I do agree that there is but a small future for offline RSS readers.

[...] The transcript of Bill Gates’ keynote at the Microsoft MIX06 conference is a must read. Especially because he dedicated a fair amount of time to RSS! It’s just like I wrote before; 2006 is the year of RSS;) Anyway, Bill sounds very enthousiastic and speaks about managing feeds with API’s, SSE and the Windows Communication Framework. Check out some of Bill’s RSS comments (via donloeb.com): RSS, a lot of discussion about that. We’ve seen it do a number of things that we’ve put out as industry standards for people to adopt around RSS. We think it’s very, very important. We’ve got the simple list extensions that make feeds better particularly for structured data. We think the amount of RSS going on is going to skyrocket. It’s already very significant. It will move up to new levels. And making it easy for you to manage those feeds so that they show up in the appropriate place, and some of the same mechanisms that we’ve thought about with things like e-mail rules can be applied here so that even when your information comes in it’s coming to exactly the place that you’re interested in seeing it. We’re going beyond just a textual-type notification where people will have photos and the podcasts themselves. [...]
