Most people use MSIE. In their infinite wisdom, the good people at MS have failed to integrate RSS into MSIE. If you want to reach the maximum number of people because there are 120 MPH winds bearing down on you, RSS won't do the trick. Soon hopefully, but not now. One of the many reasons why dependence on MS is one of the main reasons the web is so screwed up. They really are very irresponsible above and beyond their nasty and often illegal business practices. RSS makes total sense, but according to the gurus at MS, RSS isn't important enough to add via an update. It may or may not be included in the (supposedly) upcoming MSIE 7. Only 50 million Firefox downloads so far. A great number, but only a drop in the bucket in terms of the total number of browsers in use. Until MSIE has integrated RSS or someone (Google?) knocks off MS, anyone looking to maximize their Internet coverage has to do it the way MS dictates. It's very grating, but it's reality. And if I was a public safety official, I would need to understand that.
