Ask HN: What's the replacement for RSS?

IMHO, it's not the technology that's the problem - RSS is excellent for what it does. Or at least, for what it's used for. The disconnect happens at the worst place - subscribing. Browsers don't really support it (see Chrome's feed button removal, and now you have to get an add-on from the Chrome store to reinstate that functionality), few outside of geeky/nerdy circles even know about RSS, and that's why everyone thinks they have to replace RSS with something else.<p>See also the circular "E-mail needs to be fixed" non-problem.

Twitter.<p>I'm not kidding. I don't understand why this is overlooked so much.

I think there is an argument that it doesn't need replacing, if it had some greater value it wouldn't be fading away.

I don't think RSS has been replaced, or is being replaced. All you need is a good good parser.
