First, I”m not sure Yahoo really is backing away from RSS. But if they are, there’s a perfectly good reason for it: RSS, as popular as it is with us geeks, is still not on the radar of most average Internet users. Most people simply don’t use it, or even sound very interested when you explain it to them. If, like Yahoo, you’re launching sites targeted at non-geeks, they may not be worth the hassle (or the lost pageviews).
