Irwin Lazar <ilazar@burtongroup.com> quoted an article saying

"In less than 48 hours many of us will be installing Tiger OS-X and with it a
brand new Safari browser that can read and display RSS feeds in a simple easy
to understand manner. That upgrade while great for the consumers, could come
as a big shocker for those blogs whose feeds are included as part of Safarišs
default starter package. Infact it could be the biggest stress test for RSS
thus far!"

a) that's OS-X Tiger. :p~~~

b) The Biggest Stress Test For RSS Thus Far?

Okay, let's get a handle on things here. RSS is XML over HTTP; nothing more.
As long as the HTTP infrastructure can handle the traffic, and as long as the
server can handle the big spike in HTTP requests, I see no reason why this
should be a big deal, and I see even less reason why the article cites the
event as a defining event for RSS. (It's not.)

Just ate lunch, but thanks anyway.
