Apparently, May 1st is RSS Awareness Day! I had no idea such a day existed, but it has it's own site at RSSday.org . Thanks to the nice folks at dailyblogtips.com for making our RSS in Plain English video part of the site - and day for that matter.
I agree that RSS is one of those special technologies. It has the potential to positively impact virtually every Internet user at no cost. A big problem is awareness - it's hard for people to see how it could impact them until they give it a try. Hopefully we've been able to turn some people on - but there are still about 94% of Internet users that haven't seen the light. The challenge continues.
Here's the improved version of the original video from the Common Craft Store:

McKinsey got it, too
today, saw a mailing titled:
Introducing RSS and Social Bookmarking
As a subscriber I followed their invitation to their help site and read the explanation on RSS. Hmmm... Professional as they are, McKinsey encourage rating and feedback, so I recommended to add
" A 3-minute video explains more http://www.commoncraft.com/store/rss "
May 1
There are just too many things to remember today. Besides worker's soldarity and RSS day, it's also Holocaust remembrance and school principal's day, and it used to be May Day where the kids tied ribbons and danced around the May Pole. We don't need that one anymore.
Videos
I stop by this blog at least one every two weeks. The videos are awesome and very informative. I have recommended this blog to several of my friends and they also are regulars. Keep up the good work lee!

Oh, come on. Are you seriously celebrating rss day? hahaha! It's not a real thing. RSS will never achieve the utility of email.
