• beng, chofmann: RSS is just another type of web content, and we should try to provide a transient experience where we display that content in the most appropriate fashion

• beltzner: two primary use cases: 1) mail-like, where each post should be tracked, marked read/unread, archived, searchable, and 2) headline-scanning like where recency is key and posts can be missed; usually for feeds with higher volume of updates.

• beltzner: "Live Bookmark" can be extended to _any_ webpage which has been changed; could mean "watch this page for updates"
