Understanding RSS - fixing Info Overload :)

My WatchIT video titled Understanding RSS is available, and can be viewed at WatchIT. You can sign up for free 24 hour access here. I'll also have a few demo multimedia CDs available - let me know.

Alright, maybe we can't "fix" information overload :), but RSS helps

WatchIT describes the video as well as anyone (hey, I think I wrote this description anyway):

Information overload is a common complaint among Internet users. There is simply too much information -- and too little time. But what if there was a way to quickly and conveniently see what'’s new on all the Web sites you'’re interested in, and you could click through to any particular item you wanted to examine in detail? Such utilities exist, called "‘feedreaders"’ or "‘newsreaders," or sometimes "news aggregators."’ They "‘read"’ what are known as RSS, or really simple syndication feeds, which you can subscribe to, and they show you what's new in those feeds. In this timely program, consultant Ted Demopoulos explains how RSS works and how you can get the most from it. He begins by explaining how ordinary Internet users can effectively benefit from RSS, and continues by showing how Internet content publishers can benefit from RSS as well. Next, Demopoulos examines RSS technical fundamentals, and considers what should go into an RSS feed.
