RSS, of course, stands for really simple syndication. It’s a technology that’s been around about as long as the web itself, and it used to be one of the primary ways media websites would inform their readers of new material.

Over the years, however, RSS has waned. The rise of smartphones, push notifications and social media diminished the utility of RSS, and even popular services like Google Reader were discontinued as users turned to other ways to get their news.

RSS, however, never truly went away. And like with vinyl records, as RSS’s user base dwindled, those who remain are a core group of passionate users. There’s plenty of good RSS software out there, and services like Feedly and Inoreader make the experience friendly for today’s web-savvy audiences.

Beyond its utility for hardcore readers, as a Web 1.0 technology, RSS is a foundational technology for media sites. Syndication services, news aggregators and other technologies often rely on RSS, because it’s the easiest way to get a complete – or deliberately partitioned – feed of a what a publisher is publishing. Podcasts are a great example of how, in the media realm, RSS still has a fundamental role to play.

That’s why you still see that orange, WiFi-on-its-side symbol all over the web, CoinDesk included. And you probably will for years – if not decades – to come.
