[Sigia-l] Wither the HomePage?

[Gunnar Langemark]

RSS aggregation will not change all, but there is reason the believe that
the importance of the home page is declining.
I aggregate, comment, syndicate and share close to 100 RSS feeds from my
Drupal driven blogging site. It is a personal thing, and yet I have a couple
hundred users a day. I really appreciate the way RSS can work.
We have not heard the last about syndication.
It has close ties with personal knowledge and content management, the
semantic web and such.

Best
