Google Names RSS Feeds "Web Clips"
I'll let the geeks among you argue the virtues and vices of the new Google Desktop and it's sidebar. Personally I thought it was kind of cool during my brief introductory play period last night.
What I thought was extremely cool and useful and will move new technology faster into the mainstream was Google's renaming of RSS Feeds into "Web Clips." The very last struggle in the book was explaining RSS, and aggregators and feeds; syndication and subscriptions. It was a real challenge and I kept feeling like there had to be a better way to say it.
Web clips does just that.
Shel, I think the Web Clips and e-mail panels are the most useful parts of GDS2. Okay that and system monitor.
Regardless I this it will prove to be a great way to explain syndication feeds.

Oh, no not the web feeds debate again. The discussion at the BBS was interesting, but really its more interesting to chat about how to use the pesky devils.
