       | rss one (since the implementation seems very simple). I'm just
       | curious if people still uses it

         | Absolutely! I follow some 100+ feeds in Liferea. Basically any
         | site or part of a site which has interesting content with low
         | or intermediate frequency (Hacker News and the like would just
         | flood the "inbox"). It's an excellent way to look through
         | dozens of entries quickly for the good stuff.

         | For podcasts, yes. Blogs, no. Aggregators like hacker news
         | replaced it for me.

         | Sure. (well, quite often it's actually Atom, since people use
         | "RSS" to mean either)

         | Yes - I think it tends to be used by people that are into
         | creating online content, it's the best way to get content
         | delivered to you online. Though there's Twitter and Newsletters
         | too, which are great, RSS is still hugely useful.

         | for RSS every time a site is missing it. Email-to-RSS sometimes
         | works as a substitute.
