I have a couple of blogs, one food blog in Swedish that I’ve had for a few years, I stopped writing on it almost a year ago as inspiration was dying, but still I get visitors everyday that comes back to see if I’ve updated or not. I really want to write a RSS reader tutorial for these people, so that they will be promptly notified if I ever start writing there again. The blog you’re reading now doesn’t have that many random visitors (except for the Google ones) as most of my readers subscribe to it via RSS or expect to be notified on Twitter or Facebook whenever I’ve updated.
But it’s quite an interesting tought, ‘in the future’ when everyone will use RSS readers, the URL has become obsolete and Google has taken over North Korea, no one will have to update daily to not loose daily readers, no one will have to update every Saturday for their Saturday readers, one can just update whenever one has anything interesting to say or announce. For the first time in the history of publishing, we will not have to fill the exact same number of pages each day with news, a monthly magazine can publish whenever it has enough interesting content gathered, periodicals can have completely random publication dates and content will not be quantified in the same sense and hopefully this will mean a higher quality of information.
