I'd contend that RSS is one of the key Web 2.0 technologies that is yet to be understood more broadly by the web population...and that's an indictment of personalised news services' poor design metaphors. My dad doesn't need to understand IMAP4 or POP3 to use email, so why does he need to comprehend little orange icons and RSS feeds to personalise his news experience?

Those of us who use vim for editing and set up our window managers with elaborate keyboard shortcuts to minimize mouse usage would jump off a bridge after a hour with Streamy.

Scaling back resources helps when your in the refinement phase of software development. I'm personally finding out that just before launch there are sure to be things that you know you need - good reasons to ramp up staff again for specific functionality. From a marketing perspective sometimes it's just better to launch. The big obvious holes will get filled and then you have something to talk about in the second, third and forth media blitz. Release core funcitonality, release early and often. From what I'm hearing, maybe Streamy missed an opportunity to release. If I had to take a guess though, I would say that the delay was probably operational in nature. In the period of time since their launch many things have changed in the cloud computing space. With a decent set of people in closed alpha I would just retool the backend to low cost operationally. They might have done this (pure speculation). Given the nature of the application they would require BigTable like functionality and that's probably not what the alpha was coded against. Just 2 cents from a guy who is actually building this kind of stuff on the cheap. I wonder how large the development team is?

I actually emailed with Jonathon Gray the cofounder some. I was worried though, given the huge lag from first write up, to launch, that they had died. I wonder, however, how this will make money? Another fun app, and no revenue. Back when TC first wrote about this, I loved it. I actually emailed with Jonathon Gray the cofounder some.
