Response to RSS video

Wouldn't be a much easier if EVERYTHING in life came with an instructional video? That way, us visual people didn't have to spend hours and hours trying to make sense of instructional books. This video was extremely helpful in understanding how to use a reader to keep yourself updated on blogs without having to visit each individual blog for new posts. What makes this video so effective is how it's author used examples that were clear and visual. The most interesting being the one where he compared online readers to Netflix, where things come you rather than lets say Blockbuster, where you have to go out and find it. That statement in itself gave me that "ahah" moment where I finally understood the purpose of a reader. For people who have difficulty understanding, concrete examples such as this can be quite helpful. This video was direct and to the point, which is something that has to be noted. A person wanting to search for information on the purpose and use of a reader can see this video and will find it simple and clear. I myself, plan to use the reader more extensively, now that I know it can keep track of my favorite blogs and save me quite a bit of time. Although, the author did say it can be quite addicting. A person with a reader is likely to spend hours and hours reading online blogs. It's important to set some boundaries before you use it so that you don't spend all your time on it.
