RSS Awareness DayApparently, 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.
