Yes, I think it's useful for all of us as a way of keeping up with things you're interested in (this can be personally or professionally). Anyone who gets RSS feeds has chosen to get them, so in this respect it's better than being on the receiving end of the far too ubiquitous mailbomb. But I guess this puts the responsibility on to the recipient to choose to get those feeds that they need to get. For example, if we sent library notices only by RSS how many patrons would choose to get them?
It's another form of communication too. Do we need yet more of these? If it's one of a number of options, then at least we can choose RSS over, say, email.
So is RSS all about choice, as with so many other aspects of life today?
