You’re right however - when I was at my last position some of the team went out and asked people if they knew what RSS was - not many did (I think the only person on the video who gives the right answer worked for the same company)

I wonder what would happen if the BBC launched some kind of RSS feed addition to their homepage!? While we live and breathe RSS it's interesting to see how many people still don't 'get' it or still don't use it.
