To all of you who always wonder what I'm talking about when I talk about RSS, there's a pretty darned good article by a layman (non-technical) that explains why RSS rules.

Go to the article; you'll need to get a free day pass from Salon by watching an advertisement.

The whole concept of syndication is just coming about; in the future, you won't even need to visit the website to see if they've updated; you can just view one site and it'll keep all your sites in one place.

I currently keep track of about 20 different websites from just one single website (Bloglines). It means that instead of visiting 20 different bookmarks, I visit one page, and all new content is up there!

The future is here, motherfuckers! Not only are there a number of sites that allow you to view RSS feeds, there are tons of applications that serve the same purpose. You can even find news plug-ins for Trillian and Winamp.

RSS definitely has amazing potential; right now a list of free items from craigslist.org is continually updated on my desktop, while recent forum posts are being displayed in the header of my site.
