deconq··on You Can’t Quit, I Dare You
What he doesn't mention is YouTube - the one product for which there is NO alternative. Sure, you can choose to post your own videos elsewhere, but when it comes to watching videos - many videos are only posted on YouTube and nowhere else.

I support this move.

For me, RSS is a necessary evil. I always opt for email subscription when I have the choice, because I find it infinitely more convenient to have my subscriptions and emails in the one place, rather than in two separate products.

However, for sites that do not offer email subscription but only offer RSS coughHNcough - I reluctantly use Google Reader to subscribe. Meaning an extra account to check each day.

Hopefully this won't merely result in everyone switching to just another RSS aggregator - instead, I hope it will prompt websites to start using more convenient subscription methods, whether that be email or something else.

RSS is dead. Long live... ???

Or, there may be others your age that want websites or software. Start with people you know.

What I assume is your user bio is in the wrong place. Because it's placed under the logo, I assumed it was the general description of the site and led to me asking 'who are you?'. It should be placed under your username.

Also, why do you hate religion?
