Watch out for the hype train in this item, a press release that links ultimately to a useful White Paper on the market position of various RSS aggregators (which is the part worth reading). Also worth noting is the paper's take on the impact of RSS on email. In a sentence: unless email providers solve the spam problem within the next few months, they will lose their entire market to the world of RSS tools and aggregators. The White Paper also has some good diagrams of the flow of information in RSS networks; you'll have to use the capture mode of your image editing software to get them, though, since the PDF has been (uselessly, but annoyingly) copy-disabled.
