The Internet has problems. Technorati says there are 50 million weblogs,
and as you can see, it’s going up. This is overwhelming. Our focus here is on a new and efficient way
to keep up with all the cool stuff that’s happening on the Internet. So I’m gonna talk about two ways that you can keep up with what’s happening on the web. There’s the old slow way – Boo. Then, there’s the new and fast way – Yay! Here’s the difference between the new and
the old way. This is you, and here are your favorite websites. You log on to your computer, and you’re looking
for something new. You go out to your favorite blogs. Anything new? Nope. You go out to your favorite news sites. Anything new? Nope. Every time you look for something new and
it’s not there, you’ve wasted valuable time. This is the old way. Now, let’s consider the new and fast way,
which simply means taking these arrows and turning them the other direction. This means that new things from blogs and
your favorite sites come to you instead. It’s like Netflix compared to the video store. What we’re talking about is using a single
website that becomes your home for reading all the new stuff that’s coming from your
favorite websites. There are two steps to getting started. The first step is creating a home for reading
new posts. This is a website called a reader. All you need is a free account to get started. My favorite sites are listed on the left,
and on the right I can scroll through all the new posts from my favorite sites in a
single place. So, to complete step one, you need to sign
up for a news reader. Step number two, is to set up a connection
between your reader and your favorite websites. Setting up these connections is called subscribing,
and it’s really important. Nearly every blog and news site offers the
ability for you to subscribe so new things from these sites show up here in your reader. To set up these subscriptions, look for funny
little icons. This is the standard orange one. You may also see these. These little icons say, “Hey! Subscribe to me! I can save you time!” Once you find one of these buttons on your
favorite site, click on it and the page that appears will give you everything you need
to subscribe. After you click that button, one of two types
of pages will appear. This is one that provides one click access
to subscribing in your reader. The other page you’re likely to see looks
like this – with code on it. If you see this page, copy the address at
the top of the page, go to your reader and look for a link that says “Add Subscription”
or “Add Feed.” Click on that, and paste the address into
your reader. Once you’ve added your subscriptions and the
connection is there, new posts begin arriving in your reader and you’ll see why this is
the new, faster way to read the web. It’s addictive, so be careful! A quick recap. There are two things you need to do. Number one is to go sign up for a reader. Number two, go to your favorite websites,
click on the icon and subscribe. I’m Lee LeFever, and this has been “RSS in Plain English” on The Common Craft Show.
Thank you
what rubbish
so it's like a notification? loll
Wow .. very informative. Thank you.
I can't believe this is 10 years old! It's so much fun to watch "vintage" things in our "fast times"
Fantastic, now I understand, thanks, John from sunny Devon UK
10 years later and this video is still helpful.
"I use a site called Google Reader. It looks like t̶h̶i̶s̶ shit."
ftfy
I really enjoyed watching your video. The kind of one to let any dummy going from absolutely no knowledge of RSS to: "I can now understand what people mean when they say RSS"
Thank you!

Every fuking time I've postponed this shit. Here i am finally.

Or you can set your home page to youtube and let its AI decide what news to show you and dont bother with all this antiquated stuff.
Who's watching 2018?
I saw RSS on my psp 10years ago and was like wtf is thisss
That intro though. Super catchy..
I can't see why I would EVER need something like that? Don't we get enough junk pushed at us from the internet as it is?
Thanks for that great video: https://wiki-extra.blogspot.com/
Man, this guy way ahead of everyone. Are you rich right now? What stocks should I invest in? Pls help, Lord Sage!
love this video. What you did not tell us was that it was originally done in powerpoint, but window vista launched 2007 so it didnt work! so we all went back to pens and paper until w7 came out.
And finally Google reader is discontinued. Hmmm. RIP Google reader
This video is exact copy of Test RSS. It is misleading to put the same video under different names.
I am so uncultured. Why has it taken me so many years to actually look this up?
Is this basically how youtube notifications works? Do RSS give false “new” notifications?
Powerpoint Prehistoric Vol.1
I didn't know Netflix existed before they offered the service they do nowadays… (Like in 2007)
Notifications killed the RSS feed.
Never have I ever watched 11 year old tech video!!
There was Netflix in 2007. o_O wut
Just here to say i'm watching this in 2018. Printed out papers and a whiteboard to explain cs concepts. wow.
Love your teaching style my friend 🖒
After all these years…!!!
Now I know.
Sorry guys I am ten years late to the comment section fuck
And holy fuck look at his windows XP, feeling old yet?
I was shocked to find out Netflix existed in 2007. Amazing.

Thanks. Spot on. CBD oil man
It made me laugh for real the way he just pushes the paper outta the way.
Where do you read or see the feeder once you subscribe?
Wow it's been 10 years. I remember i would try to explain this and people for some reason could understand. Now everyone knowingly and unknowingly uses this.
This was very nice, still relevant.
Who's here in 2021 ?
what year was the camrea built the 1800s, I can't see a thing only 270p.. sounds good though! 🙂
Finally, I found an intelligent and plain tutor. Thank you so much.

Embarrassed that it took me til damn near 2019 to learn how to use RSS feeds…better late than never huh?
I'm coming from engfluent 😂
Does any one else as me? 2019
GREAT JOB! Ez to understand, great instructions. I'm setting up some RSS feeds right now! thx
Before we had power point we had this

Сижу вот книжку вашу читаю…
Isn't google reader discontinued?
I agree with many of the previous comments: 12 years later (2019) & this video is still very helpful.
This is what you call "timeless" …
except for the Netflix/ Video Store comparison, of course 😉
…and by the way, here is a link to some cool "RSS Reader Apps" (in 2018/ 2019) ->

legislature.mi.gov , the website where you can go to find pretty much all state legislature for Michigan. It's an ancient website and not very easy to use.
This is linked there. Except it's not.
A Bing search is linked there.

Changing with the times.!The way technology has evolved is amazing and it's preparing our kids for 21st century learning. I loved the comparison of Netflix and a video store .
