"The day InfoWorld's top news RSS feed received more requests than our home page, I started thinking a frightening thought - RSS is doing to the Web today what the Web has been doing to print for the last several years. We have disintermediated our Web site by offering our news in an easier to access format...again."
Well, maybe. What it means is that having a dull, brochure-ware site is no longer enough. You have to syndicate content that will give people a reason to visit whatever you aren't syndicating. If there's nothing there worth reading - you just didn't realize that you were failing before.
