Get your RSS on

Another big announcement coming. Don't know exactly when. Soon. Ish.

But to reap the benefits of it, you'll need to be up to speed with a news reader or aggregator. I talk a bit about RSS here. If you're having any problems, you can post them in the comments there and get some help.

RSS (aka XML, whatever) is no longer just for early-adopter geeks. Just as you don't need to know HTML to use a web browser, it should be relatively painless for you to start using RSS feeds, even if you're not terribly tech-savvy. And I've personally found it saves one hell of a lot of time. It's hard to explain why it's so great exactly. Part of it is that you never need to wait for a website to load, and another part of it is that you never need to check an RSS-enabled website or blog again--the reader checks it for you and lets you know when something new is posted. But you need to experience RSS to really see the benefits.

And RSS is where all the cool, new, media-rich stuff will be happening. As you'll see.

Details to come. The announcement will be of the magnitude of this and this.
