National Weather Service provides RSS feeds for hurricanes - level 100

The National Weather Service provides RSS feeds for all the significant weather activity. Since I have family in Houston, I've subscribed to the RSS feed for Hurricane Rita. It's amazing how RSS feeds have penetrated into so many different parts of the Internet. Is RSS the next killer app? It certainly is changing the way I work.

nor it is an application, nor is it the "next killer *"... it already is a killer technology, all the important sites already use that, and with software like IE7 will penetrate massively the general users market

Tach-savvy people are using RSS now, but it has yet to gain widespread use like Email has. RSS has a long way to grow, but I think it has the potential.

I agree. When RSS capability is integrated with the operating system, more people will decide to try it out for the first time. Thanks for the comment!

definitely, in my case I used to visit dozens of sites to get information, articles, etc, now I just have a RSS reader and all the stuff comes to me right when is out, is so convenient, of course you also have all this kind of "spam", but so far at least you can choose who you get spam from =o)
