It was predictable, it was inevitable, and it has arrived: the backlash against RSS and against blogging in general. This article surveys the discussion and offers several links to backlash-type pages. Even more amusing is another link, this to a series of PowerPoint slides titled Don't Blog: Headlines from the Future. None of this really matters, of course: bloggers will continue to blog and RSS will continue to syndicate, and the world will continue in much the way it should.
