Lee LeFever: RSS in Plain English
From Lee LeFever's description in commoncraft.com/rss_plain_english:
We made this video for our friends (and yours) that haven't yet felt the power of our friend the RSS reader. We want to convert people... if you know someone who would love RSS and hasn't yet tried it, point them here for 3.5 minutes of RSS in Plain English.
You might also enjoy: Wikis or Social Bookmarking in Plain English on the Common Craft Show page.

Updated: We've posted an entry to address some of the FAQs. Also, there is a transcript here and a German version of the video here.
Updated: DotSub has enabled us to create subtitled versions of the video that are being translated into a number of languages including Portuguese, Norwegian, French and Arabic. If you're bilingual, we'd love help with more languages.

- PS click on the little ball in the bottom left corner in order to see Wesch's video without the comments. One thing strikes me though: in it's YouTube form, this "draft" version has been viewed by 3,652,608 people since the end of January. And the final version in http://youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g by 333,288. But people almost always refer to it as "Web 2.0 in under five minutes", almost never considering the second part about "The Machine is Us/Ing Us"...

My pleasure - RSS is a real revolution, or rather the most visible part of the great XML revolution, as Michael Wesch explained:

- Thanks for putting this video up Claude, it was just the prod I needed to get into RSS. I signed up to Google Reader and just typed "literacy.ning.com" into the "add subscription" box and I'm away.
