I predict that RSS news consolidators will be one of the next Internet "killer apps". They're not quite there yet, but they're moving in the right direction.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, but what’s up with all the LJ spam lately?
You mean like http://www.nongnu.org/straw/ ?
Because if so, I agree. They look like usenet newsreaders gone horribly right.
Yes, straw is exactly what I mean. I’ve been experimenting with it the past few days, although I can’t say I actually like it.
I think RSS will gradually become the new usenet, but with vastly different structure. There needs to be some unified protocol for posting comments though. Another big plus would be a collaborative filtering system for identifying interesting stories. That leads into the tough problem of quantifying journalistic integrity for smaller publishers.
But I digress…

By the way, are there any RSS feeds you would recommend?
