RSS explained in simple simple terms

If you are anything like me, you may have wondered or maybe still are wondering what this RSS thing is all about and how it affects you. Like many other recent new technologies, once I understood it I feel in love and couldn’t keep away. I came across this cute and very easy to understand video that explains what RSS is and how you can harness its fabulousness. These guys at Common Craft make understanding stuff simple!

Now the only thing to figure out is what RSS stands for. I always thought it was “Really Simple Syndication” though half the information online suggests that it’s “Rich Site Summary” or “RDF Site Summary” – (I think using an acronym (RDF) in an acronym (RSS) is taking it a bit far!)
