You are absolutely correct. It is the main reason I have switched over to Opera 8.1 for my webbrowsing. It is easy to access my feeds and even easier to add a feed. I only wish Blogger would get more friendly to it for the purpose of adding a Blog this button to the toolbar

I like the idea that "RSS has to become brain-dead simple to use"... A good way to tackle RSS, wikis, blogs and other web 2.0 technologies in corporate settings (including law firms) is to bring everything together in a seemless web experience, to become a natural extension of the lawyer daily routine.
For example, RSS feeds can be integrated on a portal home page with Free and Open Source PHP code; end users / lawyers need to know nothing of all these "complicated words" to leverage the power behind the technologies. Their web experience can simply consist in a regularly updated portal, etc.
Similarly, for contributors, there are ways to set up blogs to accept email posts, so the message becomes "if you can email, you can blog!"
