RSS - A solution to too much email???

[Athena Hoeppner]

I often complain that I get too much email - but switching to RSS wont
help me absorb the deluge of information.

Maybe I'm missing something, but RSS seems awfully similar to Usenet,
except more popular and on the web.  :-\

I have begun to wonder whether the listserv as a medium will change to
be
formatted as RSS/XML. One of the best things about RSS news feeds is
that
one no longer has to receive e-mail alerts from news services to keep
abreast of a particular topic, etc. One of the primary complaints of
my
co-librarians is that they get too much e-mail. Part of it is the
listservs
that we ambitiously subscribe to but even when received in digest
format, we
often don't have time to read.
