Shedding the Light on RSS feeds

Today, I finally understood RSS feeds. I know, Tico has told me numerous times what it means, but I had to read the definition myself at the History Channel to understand. There are three lessons in this.

First, the fact that it took me until now to internalize that an RSS feed is a way for the content of a favorite website to be delivered to you instantly, without visiting the website, and that it stands for Really Simple Syndication, further illustrates that information often needs to be repeated before it is internalized. Everyday Math knows this and has developed its curriculum around this premise.

Second, I now know what an RSS feed is and now have "This Day in History" as a feed on my Bookmark Toolbar.

Third, you never know where you will pick up a tidbit of important information. I certainly was not expecting a "What is RSS?" link at the History Channel.
