RSS in Plain English
1 05 2007I found this video with subtitle (thru DotSub technology) about RSS in Plain English. I figure some of you might find it useful information since many of Deaf and Hard of Hearing folks still struggle to understand how RSS Reader works.
More helpful information can be found at DeafRead.com RSS Help.
Enjoy!

that is good one ! very informative !
thanks…
This is one of most clearly explanation how RSS works.. Loved it.
I find it interesting that your post 6 hours ago was in DeafRead Extra instead while Jared’s and Noesis’ posts were in DeafRead recently. They claimed your post, dude!
Yeah, I second that, MikeS.. and your post is in DeafRead Extra.. and it would be big shame for Human Editors not to publish your post in front DeafRead site way BEFORE posting Jared’s and Noesis’ entries for the attention.
Does Human Editors follow or break their guidelines?
Hi Grant,
I didn’t realize until now that you were the first to post about this. I’ve updated DeafRead just now. Thanks for letting me know.
I’ve also updated my blog entry to say that you were the one who found this first.
David, I’m sure it’s an oversight. One man’s junk is gold to another. Nevertheless it is settled by Jared. We geeks or nerds are sensitive about these claims. I’m just responding as a comrade in a brotherly way.
I know that its a badge of honor among geeks, if you’re the first to find something and tell others about it. That’s why I made sure that others know that it was Grant that found this video first.
I’m new to blogging and wow, what can I say? You made learning so easy! thanks!
I use Safari (Mac only, but you can use Firefox’s RSS as well) to set RSS, it help save my time as I can see new incoming news on bookmark bar. No more loading on ads! wee.
Wow!!! Thank you! I appreciate this; I’ve heard about RSS, and I understood a little. Didn’t bother to really research and learn more about it. Now watching the video, I completely understand it.
By the way, do you like dotSUB for their captioned videos? They do a great job, don’t they? harkle.com does it, too. They both have to get permission from the producers of the videos and make subtitles. Some places don’t let them do it; it’s a bummer.
FYI, I’ve been in touch with the Geek Brief podcast, and I’m trying to get them to caption their video podcasts. Right now, I’m not so successful. They’ll let me see the transcripts, but that’s not the same thing. They’re concerned about copyright, I believe. The only thing, I think, they can do is make their own subtitles on their own shows or have it contracted to either dotSUB or harkle.com. One step at a time, right?
