Today is RSS Day, Do you Care?

Did you know that today is RSS Day? Do you even know what that means?

For what it's worth, you should check out Google Reader if you haven't already. And for a better summary of what RSS Day means, you can visit RSSDay.org. Here's a quick snippet of what it is:

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a format used to deliver information from websites and pages that get updated regularly. An RSS document (which is called feed) contains either a summary or the full content from a website.

The main benefit of RSS is that it enables people to stay connected with their favorite websites without having to visit them. Once you subscribe to a particular RSS feed, you will automatically receive updates from the website that publishes the feed, whenever they release new content. The video below illustrates the process.

Do you RSS? If you do, how many websites do you have in your reader? I just checked in Google Reader, and there are 194 feeds. And that is after I cut it down a few months back.
