I can see where "feeds" can be misleading and confusing. I guess having a broadcasting/journalism background the term connects in my brain having dealt with wire feeds and such through the years. I've also found it's just as easy to hold their hand and walk them through it a few times. People have to be shown, shown again, then shown a third time and then they might get it. But eventually, folks like you and me will get through to 'em. Hey Rex,

Thanks for stopping by. I can see where “feeds” can be misleading and confusing. I guess having a broadcasting/journalism background the term connects in my brain having dealt with wire feeds and such through the years.

I’ve also found it’s just as easy to hold their hand and walk them through it a few times. People have to be shown, shown again, then shown a third time and then they might get it.

But eventually, folks like you and me will get through to ‘em.

Inevitably, I'll later ask the person why they didn't convert and they'll say something like, "You kept saying the word "feed" and I could never find anything labeled "feed" when I tried to set it up." The Common Craft video is brilliant, but still, when that tech-tard sits down and tries to impliment the concept, they discover that as wonderful as it is, Google Reader is still not tech-tard friendly. (I'm not sure I like the term tech-tard, but it's kind of amusing.) Thanks for your efforts. I'll keep trying myself.
