RSS didn't fail because it was too nerdy, it was systematically shunned because it has no DRM.

Systems like newsstand and Google currents seem nice because of their ui/ux, but that's only because its so hard to compete with such giants that have relationships with giant content creators who want surgical grade DRM.

people are rediscovering RSS , what people need is good RSS reader softwares, not the usual crap out there , people need to understand things like ping-backs , get a server somewhere and they will never need facebook or twitter anymore.
