NewsGator rakes in VC money, Bloglines stays cool
Thread Description:
I practically live on a diet of Bloglines these days and they still havn't accpeted any VC funding despite many offers.
Newsgator on the other hand, a desktop app rather than web based have just taken their 2nd round of VC $$$'s
The news story linked is a poor excuse for me to open this question up: Have you gone RSS yet?
Personally speaking, it has to be an absolutely stunning site for me to bother with it if it doesnt have a feed these days...

NewsGator does have an Online Capability
Just a small note here, NewsGator does have a free Online capability at www.newsgator.com as well as the Outlook product. The Online (paid upgrade enables users to set-up Keyword search subscriptions, synchronize between devices, send feeds to a different mail client, and even view RSS via a Media Center Computer on your TV.) But there is plenty of functionality for the Web-based user in the free product.
Nuff Marketing,
And I absolutely agree with your push to get more to embrace RSS.
Dodos and dinosaurs
I feel like the last of the mohicans, as I've still not embraced RSS. I enjoy visiting sites for updates, and the only reason I'd use RSS aggregation is for forums where I'm particularly active, where response time is a plus or something.
I'm also loathe to enable it on the websites I am or have been working on, because of bandwidth concerns, re-requests of stale data (bad behaviour) and so on, which put me off.
