Investment firm created to focus on RSS start-ups.

June 30, 2005

I had to read this press release twice. An investment firm to focus on companies creating RSS related products/services? At first glance I thought it was a coincidence. My thinking was the company's name was RSS Investors - something like Rodgers, Stevens, Smith and Associates. A good formal name for a VC or law firm. Then I thought, this is a joke being played on us RSS junkies. An actual VC betting their portfolio on RSS. That's pretty exciting. Did investment firms exist that focused on Email, HTML or Blogs? Not to my knowledge. This RSS thing is poised to be bigger then Email, HTML or Blogs?

RSS (content syndication) represents a fundamental change in the way we consume online information. However, all media is changing. DVRs are changing TV habits, podcasting is changing Radio listening and RSS is changing the rules for online content consumption.
