RSS is still a very hot topic as new ways to use RSS are discovered.
Steven says that because of RSS, he doesn't go to web sites anymore, they come to him. He goes to his reader, to twitter, and to email.

He's hooked on Google Reader

Steven seems hooked on Google Reader for several reasons. In particular he really likes the "Shared Items" features. Also says that adding subscriptions is very easy.

Other notables include:
University of Oklahoma Library http://libraries.ou.edu/rss/
RIT http://wally.rit.edu/feeds
These sites link newly acquired catalog items directly to an RSS Feed
