Ed Lee gives this sublime analogy, which helps demystify and explain R.S.S. (Really Simple Syndication):
Your Web content is like water in a lake. Lots of people want it and
you want them to have it. They want to drink it, swim in it and play
water polo in it.
But, to get it, they need to visit the lake, fill their buckets and then go back to their homes to use it.
RSS enables your audience to create a stream from your lake (where the content is) to their home (where they need the content).
I think we need similar analogies for some of the other geeky terms - any takers for microblogging?
