FeedBurner is kicking-off a series of Technorati-like special reports this week called “Feed for Thought” that will cover the state of the “feedosphere”:
With so much going on in the world of syndication, we thought it high time we stop bantering amongst ourselves, and start sharing some of the keen insight and commentary brewing inside FeedBurner headquarters. From where we sit atop more than a hundred thousand feeds, the air is thin but the view outstanding. We can’t help but see what’s on the horizon and identify ways in which we can continue to help publishers maximize the delivery channel. With that, we offer Feed for Thought, an ongoing series of reports that cover the state of the feedosphere, emerging trends, our take on where subscription delivery is headed and the challenges and opportunities it will face.
The new series is aiming to cover a variety of topics with the first report focused on “RSS & Blogs.” Now, fair warning, this first report is a lengthy read, but a good one nonetheless. One of many nuggets of info that’s worth pulling out from this report is how RSS adoption is quickly evolving from a stand-alone syndication method for blogs (circa 2003) to a broader publishing standard for all sorts of content, today (e.g., search results, commercial publishing, podcasts, etc.) This graph nicely illustrates RSS adoption trends.
