My Mom uses RSS and Scoble’s mom doesn’t

Of course, if you ask her about RSS you might get a blank stare. If you describe it to her, she would probably tell you she uses something similar called Bloglines. But that’s ok. Point is, she uses it, and it makes her life easier. We have about 16 blogs in the extended family. RSS helps her keep up.

It took me less than 30 minutes to set-up Bloglines and WordPress accounts and show her how to use them. And the rest is history. RSS is on its way to mainstream, even if the Scoble family is still a bit technologically backwards
