[Marshall Kirkpatrick is fond of feeds. As the author of Weblogs Inc.’s Social Software Weblog, an interviewer and presenter with NetSquared and consultant for The Committee to Protect Bloggers , he is imminently qualified to speak not only on the benefits of feeds but possible obstacles. In this, our second in a series of guest-blogged posts, Marshall tackles potential bottlenecks in the process of management by feeds.]

I love RSS, absolutely love it. I love search feeds, enclosures, feeds displayed in HTML, filtered feeds, feeds bundled in OPML and IM notification of updated feeds. I love the flexibility of feeds. I really like the idea of management by feed as well, but I’m worried about two bottlenecks that challenge its viability. First, management by feed requires effective management of feeds and team members must be relied upon to document updates in a format available by feed.
