Some like it txt (Text: Good. RSS: Scary) by Fergal Ceallaigh

One of the many features in CampaignManager is the RSS enabled ticker. We figured that supporting RSS would be more than what anyone one need. However, we're having to change the component to support vanilla text.

Customers are simply scared of RSS. Some don't know what it is, and some don't want to know. What's clear is that RSS is still considered something to be scared of.

For me, this illustrates that it still isn't easy enough for the average user to create an RSS feed. That's changing though and we're exploring adding in or making available an RSS generator with the application.
