I don’t care how you

I don’t care how you read my content; I just want you to read my content. If you want to read on the web, fine. If you want to read it through email, fine. If you want to read it through RSS, fine. It doesn't matter! I'm not here to sell a delivery vehicle; I'm just here to tell people, “Hey, this is what’s going on in the world.” When syndication just so happens to be one of those ways, a stronger way, a better way, of getting information out there, then, yeah, I’m going to have to proselytize because no one else is really doing it. They’re getting caught up in the politics or they’re just talking about RSS as kind of, like, you know “Oh, well, we’re doing this,” but they’re not really evangelizing it, and there are very few RSS evangelists out there.

Chris – there are a few folks really evangelizing. Lord knows Scoble goes on and on about it ;^)
But you're right – RSS is a better way. It's totally changed my information gathering and consuming habits.
So climb up onto your soapbox and sing it loud, man!

Hey, we do what we can, huh?
Wednesday I presented at the Yuma Tech Consortium on blogs and RSS, and I'll be doing the same at the Yuma County Fair in April.
RSS gives us Internet 2.0, where you don't hafta be a techie to get tour words out. But I wonder how many serious tech people recognize the hoi polloi actually think websites already do this?
I'm also noticing some website designers wonder if this new thing will threaten their jobs. h'mm…
