Have to agree with you on this Eric. Web 2.0 has ushered in a lot of
bad user experiences hidden behind under cool widgets and lime green
design.  It's no secret that most users don't get what an RSS feed is
and on most sites it goes utilised.. I'm one of the last people on the
planet to support what Nielsen says, he's been a pain for too many in
the industry for me to support, but in this case he does have a point,
but not a new one as you say Eric.
