Lately, quite a few clients (and friends) have asked me “How do blogs work and what the heck is RSS?”
It’s no wonder, it seems to be one part of the whole “Web 2.0″ world that, for most folks, is not reachable simply by an intuitive leap (myself included). It took me a while to grasp the idea that I could subscribe to a blog or website and have the information sent to me. As a *totally random* example, if you just LOVE this post and desperately want to get updates whenever I add to my blog, go to the “Subscribe” button on the right-sidebar and click on “Subscribe” – I’m just saying, it’s an option.
Well, back on point, I just found an awesome (and amusing) short video explaining the basic concepts of how RSS, blogs and blog readers work!

Just in case you’re not a video fan, here are a couple of links to articles on RSS, blogs and blog readers:
