		<description>[...] If there&#8217;s one social media tool, or more appropriately, one technological advancement which enhances social media I am beholden to above all others, it&#8217;s RSS. Really Simple Syndication redefined web surfing for me. I&#8217;m convinced it can do the same for the rest of the world, whenever they come around to it. I&#8217;m even happy to spread the joy.

		<description>Javascript? Hell, I don't even drink coffee.

But good idea! You're right. Until the average computer user is using it without really knowing it, it won't be mainstream. But man, what a great world it will be once it is.</description>

		<description>Great way to blend RSS and KISS, Jason.  Since I downloaded Awasu [desktop RSS reader client] almost 5 years ago I thought to myself, "wow, this is the next outlook!" but it seems as though it has yet to materialize in a meaningful way.  

I think the latest versions of Outlook - along with virtually all modern browsers - support RSS very well, so I think we're just waiting for the IT departments of most sizable companies to catch on and upgrade to new versions of Office/Outlook and/or non-Internet Exploder browsers.  Once this happens, I bet we'll see a more rapid adoption of RSS whether the users know it or not.

Until then, I'd guess and hope that most people would continue to embrace RSS unknowingly within their iGoogle, MyYahoo, Netvibes, etc home pages.

I also think we need frequently visited sites to employ cookies or some other mechanism to invite regular users to subscribe in the way that MyBlogLog does.  Any good at javascript? ;)</description>

		<description>Kristen - You're welcome. Thanks for the idea.

Bigg Success -- Using tags and/or RSS feeds you can pull content from image and video sharing sites and imbed them on your blog/website/etc. Therefore your site might not have users but you can still have user generated content as they are generating that content for other sites and services. For instance, if I worked for, say, Folgers, I could pull YouTube videos and Flickr images that users tagged "Folgers" or "coffee" and pull that content into my site.</description>

		<description>Jason, what do you mean by "Pull UGC without users - Flickr tags, Youtube tags?" Thanks...</description>

		<description>Jason- Thank you so much for the nice birthday wish and the great slideshow. Your explanation of RSS is awesome. Makes it much easier to explain to clients that should be using it.</description>

		<description>Hey Double-H, my estimates might be high but I think the simplicity of a Google Reader, particularly with the ubiquitous nature of the Big G's presence is the perfect entree into mainstream adoption. You're right ... an email system making it more intuitive will be the home run RSS is awaiting, but I still think more and more are converting every day. I just hope it's at a faster pace that most of us think. 

As for the marketing-oriented name, I can't wait to see what you come up with.</description>

		<description>Jason, I have had the RSS epiphany as well. But I think your estimates of how many people use RSS is too high. Until we get a piece of killer software like Outlook that makes RSS easier and more intuitive, acceptance of the technology will remain slow. It would probably be good to have a new marketing-oriented name for RSS, too. I'll work on that and get back to you.</description>
