mobile RSS coming up

carlo longino sees RSS as the next big thing in mobile space, in an article on ‘the feature’:

RSS makes a lot of sense for the mobile space. it lets content be preloaded, taking out the waiting time inherent in browsing on many of today’s 2G networks. content providers could throw nearly anything into an RSS feed, and users could have it stored locally on their handset. not just news or blog updates, but things like movie listings or sports scores, and even group messaging. it’s also great because as much as the content can be self-contained, it can also be a jumping-off point for a browsing session.

anyone reading this and still NOT using RSS, please read this washington post article or, in german, alp uçkan’s “was ist RSS?“. i recommend bloglines.com as RSS feed-reader.
