The debate (is that what this is?) should not only be about how to talk to non-publishers or anyone who does not need to know geek tech terms.
The debate is how publishers, technologists, teachers and anyone else interested in knowing the tech details.... should communicate amongst each other.
The above example language could just as easily incorporate any buzzword that they may already know.... ("So, whats this videoblog thing?" It's like Internet TV that anyone can make)

I've actually run into snags explaining to people that they
can "subscribe" to my video blog. More often than not people
ask, "how much does it cost?" So even the term subscription can be
problematic--as many people associate the word "subscription" to
some kind of pay for play system like magazine subscriptions.
Aggregate, RSS, and syndication can all be problem terms too. I'm
not above explaining it to people, but sometimes its hard to do that
and not come off as some kind of ubergeek know it all, or just
watching people nod off or try to change the subject. I struggle
with using terms that are accurate, concise and easy to understand.
My current strategy is to use what ever terms I know people are
likely to understand, get them hooked on the concept and if they
show more interest in how to get more feeds or how to make a feed
themselves then I start busting out some of the more "heavy"
terminology.
