Happy RSS Awareness Day!!
Thursday, May 01, 2008 by Dave Winer.
Everyone should be aware of RSS today. 
Tomorrow? It's probably okay not to be aware of RSS tomorrow, but there's no law that says you have to forget.
PS: You can vote up RSS Awareness Day on Digg. Help people become more aware of awareness! It's deep. 
PPS: Wouldn't it be great if Obama said, in one of his stump speeches today, that it's RSS Awareness Day and I just want y'all to know I'm aware of RSS and you should be too.
