If you’ve been around the blogosphere for the last few month, or even if you just tried to keep up with the news on the Web recently, you probably noticed that there is just too much to keep track of. If you were paying attention that you also probably noticed that more and more people are talking about “feeds”, “RSS”, and “Atom”. And you also probably noticed a whole bunch of those orange icons appearing all across the Web.

Well, things were happening. There is an easier and simpler way to keep track of a lot of information sources. You can do it with RSS or Atom feeds.

Until recently only the most technologically advanced people were taking advantage of feeds. But since it proved to be a very efficient technique, more and more regular users jump on the bandwagon.

Here is a nice little video- RSS in Plain English, which explains what feeds are and how to start using them. It does so with a bunch of nice drawings, and fits in less than four minutes. Post a comment here if you still have any questions.
