My optimist side tells me we will have a revival of bookmarks in the mobile browsers too (now they are way too hidden). My pessimist side tells me Google will fight this trend to the user's detriment.

I was so frustated to see Facebook/Twitter using the fundamentals of RSS to their advantage whereas everybody should have started to use RSS for the greater good.
Most CMSes by default don't do a good job generating RSS either. Most of the time a feed is just a grab bag of posts on all topics. I don't know of any that understand inline hash tags for instance. A separate field for adding tags is just more work for an author. As a reader if I'm looking for blog posts on a topic I don't care about Grampa Moshe's goiter. Yet if I put a blog in a category in my reader software that's what I get.
In very specific circles with specific topics RSS can be really useful but outside that narrow range it's no better than the shit show we currently have.
