Weird that RSS readers look like email clients. Inbox on the left, message on the right, unread counts everywhere.

But email is people waiting on you. RSS is just... people talking, and you chose to listen. Nobody's waiting. There's no reply expected. It's a completely different relationship.

Why did we borrow the inbox metaphor for something that isn't mail?
