Trends in Online Communication: Not Getting Your Message Across? Insert a Gigantic Graphic Image

McBuzz is still cruising the Web in search of a crystal clear explanation of RSS for non-techies. Robbin Steif does a good job of giving a basic explanation of RSS by emphasizing the fact that most people, even most techies, really don't care what RSS stands for. They need to know what it is good for and how to set it up in a reader. That's it.

But I'm still looking for a nice cogent explanation to use at parties.

Here's one trend I've noticed on the Web. If you are having trouble explaning something, just insert a gigantic graphic image somewhere on the page.

Examples: RSSPECT, Wikipedia, others?

So here you go. It's RSS. Just look at it! Isn't it obvious?
