A video intro to web feeds
Sat 28 Apr 07 01:59 | Tags: Blogging, Guides, Internet
A site called Common Craft has created a short video on web feeds. The short, casual, quick-paced video helps to graphically explain the concept of web feeds in a simple way anyone can understand. If you have yet to become a feed addict like me, watch the video and give it a try.
I found this video via a post at Dosh Dosh. What I found interesting is that both this video and the post at Dosh Dosh recommend that you use one of the many web-based feed readers, like Google Reader, Bloglines, Pageflakes, Netvibes, or so on, instead of using an actual feed reader application. As I've mentioned before, my preferred feed reader is Vienna, which is an actual OS X application, not something I use through a web browser. But it's interesting that as new people are discovering this cool new tech of web feeds, so many people are first turning to web-based solutions instead of standard applications. This is perhaps a reflection of the coming-of-age of serious web-based applications, a concept which I myself am beginning to warm to.
Then again, as someone who's making my own sort of web-based feed reader/aggregator in the form of Siteb.us, I guess I shouldn't be so surprised…
