RSS Awareness Day is almost here!

Posted 4/9/08 - Kellex

Sounds a little crazy? Well the blog world has decided that May 1st will become the official RSS Awareness Day! (Info courtesy of Daily Blog Tips)

The goal is to give enough attention to the internet world that more people start to use it. It seems that a very low percentage of internet users even know what RSS is or what an RSS reader is. This is somewhat sad especially since they are so freakin’ handy!

The objective is to get as many bloggers and websites talking about RSS Awareness Day that the general public and media will figure out how useful it is and take advantage of it.

Here is a list of resources to give to your viewers:

•Wikipedia entry for RSS
•What is RSS?
•RSS In Simple English (Video)

If you visit Daily Blog Tips they have some options for prizes if you are involved, plus some nifty little banners to use like the one I have up at the top.
