One of my early 2006 tasks is to educate a group of people at work and my family about RSS, why feeds work, how to set them up and use them.<br><br>It took me about a weekend to figure it out and I had to try every available aggregator on the Net before finally settling on Bloglines.  I\'ve been working on trying to write out procedures as well as a document explaining RSS.  The magazine/newspaper subscription analogy works to a point, but it\'s not going to be clear enough for some of them who are just now acclimated to email.<br><br>I love RSS.  It reminds me of the old Compuserve days when I\'d send my forum reader out to pick up my messages from all of the forums I participated in or moderated so that I could read, answer and otherwise deal with them offline to save the connection charges.  Now it\'s not about connection charges, obviously, but it is still about time.  It\'s just faster to load them all up in the browser and scan though everything in one place.<br><br>BUT, what I hate is the acronym that no one understands and the terminology.  It\'s much easier to explain "click the \'add to My Yahoo! icon" than it is to explain what a feed is, what an aggregator is, and  that it isn\'t limited to the major sites...that\'s a chore!</div>\

The fact that 27% of users actually do use it (it doesn\'t matter at the end of the day whether the users know what the underlying technology is) validates its potential straight away.

He wants to be able to consolidate everything in a portable manner, accessible through multiple devices and with a consistent interface.<br><br>This is exacly where the RSS fits is and allows users to have a single platform to receive all types of messages, and - here\'s the best part! - everything under an *open* platform, not tied to a specififc proprietary tool, specific vendors or pre-determined devices.<br><br>In the end of the day, it\'s not about THE SITE delivering content; it\'s about THE USER receiving the information he/she wants.<br><br>I see a great road for rss.

That Scoble is addicted to an RSS reader is no surprise, but I think it has something to do with MS making fat clients.<br><br>Honestly, I hate fat clients.  I\'d rather have Yahoo Mail than Outlook, but my company sees thing differently - for now.  Someday they won\'t.  And I\'ll be glad.  So I\'m never using a fat reader.  I think there\'s something to be said for focusing on fewer lines of thought.  I can\'t imagine what use Scoble has for hundreds of potential voices crying for his attention, when he already has a website with hundreds of voices trying to talk to him.  The RSS/blogs development is a fad format.  It\'s useful in rare circumstances, like Scoble\'s and some journalists.  Look at Channel9 - it exists.  So RSS is not enough.  Fat RSS Readers are not adequate, and aren\'t a huge improvement over IE.<br><br>In other words, I think it\'s keen that I can view headlines from CNN, ESPN, Autoblog, etc. without visiting their website.  But they shouldn\'t.  And Consumers aren\'t all that excited about it.  If Engadget and Autoblog had a normal front page with headlines and small captions like ESPN, I wouldn\'t really need that much of a feed.  AND they\'d make more money.<br><br>They real application will eventually be push video.
