- having everything essentially boiled down to headlines and text just bored me to tears
- RSS feeds are indiscriminate; every new item is included
- Adding ANOTHER piece of software that sends me stuff I have to spend time to review and filter out is not a good thing.
- Concern that opening a feed from a site to my desktop will begin yet another deluge of unwanted ads, spam and garbage.
- Concern that if I relegate my experience to a stream that is determined by others, I may miss out on the stories and ideas that make the Internet truly valuable
- I understand WHAT it is, but don't know how to IMPLEMENT RSS. I see the ubiquitous orange RSS thingy, but if you click on it, as most people I know who ask me about RSS do, they get a screen full of HTML krapola. This is a real turnoff as there is NO accompanying explanation of what to DO with it.
- Asking users to configure an RSS reader--no matter how simple that might be--is too much
- Concern that RSS would be another channel through which he could receive viruses, spyware, and other infections

- Have you ever been to a Website and realized later that it had changed your browser's default home page?
- Have you ever noticed that the "default" default home page in your browser has been defined by by the company that sold you the computer?
MSIE > Tools > Internet Options > General (tab) > Home Page > Use default (button)
- Warning! Don't do this unless you are an expert. This could be very dangerous for your computer if you make a mistake.
- regedit
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main Default_Page_URL = http://www.dell4me.com/myway
---- It may be necessary to create this item (REG_SZ).
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main Start Page = http://www.dell4me.com/myway
Change these URLs to the one you really want.
- NAV and NIS by Symantec allow your system to detect and reject any attempt by a Website to change your default home page.
They will also stop you from changing your default home page, unless you are an Administrator who can change system settings.
