as someone who is married to a journalist I think that distinction and

Hi Pam,
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It's that little XML button
that you see often on blogs and news website. The button links to an RSS
feed, which is a type of code that summarizes what's been posted on that
site. If you cut and paste the RSS feed into email software like

RSS stands for really simply syndication. It's like a wrapper of some
basic metadata that is automatically put around units of content on the
Web. These content units might, for instance, be a blog entry or a news

Hi everyone,
This discussion on RSS and literacy has been wonderful, and it's inspired
me to put together a podcast on the subject. To do this, I'd like to ask
for your help. Rather than reading what each of you have contributed to the
conversation, I'd like to invite you to leave me a voicemail
This message is cheering and amusing to me at the same time. There has

Steve,
When television offered us only one or three channels, the medium tended to
create the Daily Us rather than the Daily Me.
Now that I can choose from an almost unlimited menu of channels there is a
