RSS in the year 2007

I have long thought RSS would eventually play a big part in the mainstream internet. The term RSS would become as ubiquitous as the web and email. Well according to Read Write Web 2007 is the date this will happen.

One of the factors that are given is the integration of RSS into Outlook 2007 which will give much wider access to users who may never had the chance to embrace this technology.

Another boost will come from widgets, small graphical applications that sit on the users desktop providing updated information. Many of these widgets are being fed by an RSS feed. With MySpace starting to offer widgets this will expose this technology to the masses.
