My Radio Userland license comes up for renewal real soon. The software's been good, I think the site looks nice and I like the ease of posting. But the reality is that the RSS side is overkill - I don't think anyone is subscribed to my site.
This is mainly because HG pilots have better things to do (flying) than browse their news readers. I rarely look at mine; and there aren't any other flying RSS blogs to my knowledge. (The OZ Report is a blog of sorts, but it's pushed rather than pulled.)
So this blog is in fact "just" a web site. Do I really need RSS? (Basically, no) Do I need RadioUserland to host it? (Not if I don't need RSS)
I think I'll go with it one more year and try and get my site hosted elsewhere. This doesn't mean blogs aren't useful or RSS a waste of time. But I can't see this being used in industry since it's too open, to personal, not groupware, not controlled. Groove would be way ahead, I guess.
