RSS Awareness Day tomorrow!

Thursday, 1 May 2008 (tomorrow), is RSS Awareness Day.

This new day is an effort to increase the public's awareness of RSS and its related uses and tools.  The website explains what RSS is in layman's terms and includes the most excellent Common Craft video: RSS in Plain English. 

RSS use is still very small, compared to uses of other online services and technologies.  According to Feedburner, they track 60 million RSS users/subscribers.  That is not a lot.   For those of us who use it, it's like a cult...we love it, we talk about it with other users, and we preach its holiness to non-users.  But, the non-users remain non-users until they are really convinced that it's useful to them.  So...tomorrow, go out and convince somebody.  They will thank you later!
