Female Speaker: Now, you guys don't use email, do you?
Child: Yes.
Child: Of course no.
Female Speaker: You do, what do you do with email?
Child: Check my emails, send the emails.
Female Speaker: From, to, who?
Child: People I know.
Female Speaker: You get newsletters and stuff, do you ever put your name down, I want to get a newsletter?
Child: No. Oh, I also get it from Delta Airlines.
Female Speaker: You get a newsletter from Delta Airlines for what?
Child: So when I am in airplane once and now they have been sending me like a million email messages.
Female Speaker: Wow! You don't do any of that, do you?
Child: No, of course not.
Female Speaker: You probably get some things too. You don't have to give your email address to things, number one, and sometimes it's nice to have a junk email address. But I want to show you something else. I want to show you something really interesting, really simple.
Child: Simpleness.
Female Speaker: Simpleness. We are going to look at RSS. Do you know what an RSS is?
Child: No.
Female Speaker: I bet you do, and you don't know that you do. Have you ever seen that before?
Child: No.
Child: No, never before.
Female Speaker: You have never seen that before. I bet you have.
Child: No, I haven't.
Female Speaker: It's a feed icon. Do you know what a feed is?
Child: No idea.
Child: No.
Female Speaker: That is a symbol for really simple syndication, also know as RSS.
Child: What's a syndication?
Child: Yeah, what's a Syndication?
Female Speaker: What is syndication? Okay, let's say we go to a website you really like. I am assuming it's not going to be the one I am going to take you to, I am going to take you to the New York Times.
Child: No.
Child: Eww.
Female Speaker: Eww, what do you mean eww? Okay, what would be a non-eww site?
Child: MySpace, its not boring.
Female Speaker: Hey, New York Times isn't boring.
Child: Yes, it is.
Female Speaker: Why is New York Times boring?
Child: Because it's about New York. Do we live in New York? No, we live in California.
Female Speaker: It's not about New York, it's a newspaper for the world. Right there, thank you.
Child: It's a thing.
Female Speaker: It's a thing, it's that thing.
Child: It's like a giant shock wave.
Female Speaker: It is, it's like a little shock wave. Okay, I feel better now, because that's showed up, now I feel much better. So we are on something called Hulu right now. Do you guys know what Hulu is?
Child: It has videos and movies and stuff.
Female Speaker: It is a company that's owned by News Corp and NBC Universal that shows movies and TV shows. So if I would like to get an RSS feed, which stands for Really Simple Syndication, that all I should have to do is click this, and it's connecting me up to the Really Simple Syndication.
So what it did is it took that little button that I pushed, and it took that code off that page, and its now giving me a box in my Yahoo!, because that's how I had my computer setup. So I use My Yahoo! to take in my RSS feeds.
I can go to My Yahoo! page and see that updated pages for anything on the web that I have setup RSS.
So if I happen to like trains, I could setup an RSS feed from a train site I like. If I have to like Spore, I can use the Spore RSS, that anytime they update that site, it will give me a little bleeps here on my page. So I can now say, I am going to keep it. So I have setup here, come on, keep it. I have setup all these different RSS feeds. So do I have to go to those websites?
Child: No.
Female Speaker: Only if there is something interesting here, but other than that I get to see here the recently added movies from Hulu. NPR, you can tell I have kind of boring interests. BBC, New York Times.
Child: Facebook.
Female Speaker: Facebook. So you can have that RSS feed coming from Facebook.
Child: What's Facebook?
Female Speaker: What's Facebook? It's kind of like MySpace for cooler people.
Child: Oh, okay.
Female Speaker: It's MySpace for maybe a little older people.
Child1: Oh, okay.
Female Speaker: Okay. It's very different, but Facebook in many ways has -- its like an RSS feed, but it pulls things from all over the place, and you can go to one place and find out everything. So I can go to one place and know what 200 friends are doing.
Child: That's a lot of friends.
Female Speaker: Here -- that's a lot of friends? It's kind of an okay number of friends. Do you have 200 friends?
Child: No.
Female Speaker: Do you have 200 friends?
Child: Not even close.
Female Speaker: Oh, okay, you will get there.
Child: No, I won't.
Female Speaker: So this I can use, and I can also have other things feed to it, so I have weather feeding to it, and actually, what I am avoiding looking at is I even have my eating trends on it. So I can use My Yahoo!, and in fact, I have it setup so that I do things in all sorts of different spaces. So here in the living section, I actually have a feed that comes in that shows me what movies are going on.
