RSS in Next Version of Safari
Yes, the syndication community is abuzz with the announcement that the next version of Apple's browser, Safari, will have RSS (and Atom) support built-in. There's a little Flash demo of how the feature works.
While things like the "article length" slider and the local search across feeds demo well, I don't think they'll be terribly useful. What is very useful, however, is the "RSS" icon that pops up in the location bar when the browser detects that a page has a feed associated with it. I hope that particular feature "plays well with others" like NetNewsWire, so you can enable other handlers for the feeds that have been detected.
Even though Apple has a relatively small user base, this has the potential to really elevate the awareness of syndication to the masses. Plus, now we get to see what IE will look like in 18-24 months.
