The simplest, most down-to-earth explanation of RSS I’ve found thus far can be found here: How to explain RSS the Oprah way
Suppose you have 50 sites and blogs that you like to visit regularly. Going to visit each website and blog everyday could take you hours. With RSS, you can “subscribe†to a website or blog, and get “fed†all the new headlines from all of these 50 sites and blogs in one list, and see what’s going on in minutes instead of hours. What a time saver!That one place where your RSS list is created is called an RSS Reader, and it gathers all the headlines from all the websites and blogs you have subscribed to.
It’s explanations like this, in more mainstream blogs (think non-tech, non-hipster Gen Y) that will bring these newer technologies to the masses.
