Here's interesting post on the "economics" of RSS from a techie's point of view. Herr Scoble is correct in his assertion that

On most sites HTML traffic will go down as people move away (at least until the site reposts interesting content that'll bring back more traffic) while RSS just grows and grows even if new content doesn't get posted because people subscribe and don't move away.

Sometime this spring the index.rdf overtook the infobong main page as the most frequently-accessed file on this site. In August, the RSS file was access three times as much as the default page. On a low-volume blog like this one, that seems about right, dedicated readers wait for their newsreaders to tell them when this site is updated, so people only visit when there are new posts up.
