Scoble is right about RSS and blogging - this is why I agree

Scoble states it as it is:

“Here’s my thesis: companies that have lots of bloggers will end up making better products, will end up having better marketing and PR, will end up making more profit at the end of the day, and will be more likely to have more than one “hit product” and will be more likely to last 100s of years.”

Scoble is right, this is why I agree:

Feedback. Without feedback, any product design decision is at best a guess. Guessing what the customer needs will only get you so far. Actually listening and understanding what the wants and giving it to them will get you a lot further.

Feeds are there for long. Last day, I blogged about Omea Reader. I found myself writing that I was using it more than my email client. The first thing I now open when I wakeup is this: my feed reader.

I have the power, as you said, to have the information I want. I subscribe to feeds I want to ear about. If what he said didn’t reach me, than I unsubscribe.

I now realize that people talk to me trough my weblog. If it’s more personal, they send me an email also trough it.

If people didn’t want to see feeds for what they are, see their possibilities, than this is their problems; they will eventually open their eyes.

But I also think that it’s an healthy comportment to discuss, and find flaws in concepts and systems like feeds.

It’s a new technology after all…
