Trying to sidestep "RSS for Dummies" entirely
I recently wrote About Feed Syndication as a content item at FeedBurner.com in order to provide a page of explanation and valuable links around the ever-expanding phenomenon of RSS. There's a lot of general excitement that's finally expanding well beyond the blogging community about RSS and its capacity to change how people interact with the web. It's all about more efficient access to your daily must-have information, and while serendipitous web-surfing will probably continue well into the future, syndication promises great advantages and a whole new space for innovative interaction design, commerce, and enterainment (this will eventually go WAY beyond just news and headlines).
If you have any comments about the piece or about your experience with RSS today and hopes for it in the future, I'd love to hear them.
