What is RSS? A Video

This is a really nice video from the folks over at Common Craft in explaining Really Simple Syndication (RSS):

There are two types of Internet users, those that use RSS and those that don’t. This video is for the people who could save time using RSS, but don’t know where to start.

Thanks to Dawud for finding and sharing this!

Woohoo! You’ve been so patient, Christine. I tend to get more and more technical with my posts. I figured that it was time to slow down and help some folks catch up.

When you’re a geek mired in this stuff, it’s hard to remember not everyone else knows what you’re talking about!

One last note on RSS. Imagine stripping down this page to simply the words and pictures in the article… with all the other superfluous items removed. That’s what the post looks like in an RSS feed!

I recommend Google Reader!

One of the things of my long to-do-list was to ask Douglas to write a little explanation of what RSS actually is.

Thanks for that pre-emptive strike, Doug. (and inspiration for a new section in my blog, too )
