More in the "email is dead meme": Steve Outing points to RSS as a replacement for email publishing.
The big advantage of RSS to a Web publisher is that it can significantly increase a site's visibility and reach...
And by using RSS, a publisher enables others on the Internet to syndicate its headlines, so they show up on other Web sites as those publishers incorporate third-party headlines into their own sites -- viewer traffic that gets funneled back to the Web site of the original publisher.
Outing cites Parillo and his Lockergnome, which I heartily endorse.
EDITED: Stephen Downes thinks email needs replacing, perhaps by something other than RSS.
