I think it's already a pretty big thing: I get all my news from RSSS (and associated format) feeds - it really cuts down on wading thru useless information to get at what I need/want to know. The integrated newsreader (aggregator) was what first interested me in blogging.
Yahoo! carries an Associated Press editorial about RSS-based news feeds, and how they are pushing the spam-ridden e-mail and advertising-ridden web-pages aside and consolidate information from multiple sites. Slashdot itself is mentioned by the author as one of his sources.
