According to Google Trends, during the past few years, there has been nothing but a few minor bumps that faded away as quickly as they came. I love RSS because i do not have to scroll through dozens of different news sites all day and i would love it to return.
EDIT: Typical case of people only reading the headline. I was asking why people are hyped over something that did NOT happen.
Would you mind sharing this? I would be very interested in running my own instance of this and modifying it to fit my needs!
Newsblur also does something similar and is self-hostable.
