Looking up the first word on my unknown word list, I find myself play the Wikipedia-Revolving-Doors-Game. The Web Syndication site explains that it's like a feed, like an RSS feed... well... uhm...... that's helpful....

After some other dead ends (when I Googled "what is web syndicated to someone that's not technology literate?" the first site was a blog to teach kids Information and Technology Skills - and lesson plans how to do it... ) I finally found something that was able to explain what syndication does in language I understand. So, according to the Layman's Guide to Web Syndication (which is a website I think I'm going to utilize for other information as well) I learned that:

Web Syndication is something that helps us not have to constantly flip through a whole set of websites we usually look at to see if there is anything new that has been posted. (Now I wonder if I can do this to check if there is new gear being sold at REI Outlet... probably not though... 'cause similar to any consumer based store, like a grocery store, they want you to go in and buy all this stuff you didn't need to get before getting the milk and bread at the back of the store... SIGH.......)======

So instead of wasting time to discover sadly that our favorite website has not been updated by our favorite web writer... we sit around and wait for our feeds (like RSS Feeds) to notify us, just like a door bell or a text message or other instant forms of communication... "hey! I just posted something new on my website!"

I guess that's pretty useful... I mean, now instead of flipping through pages to get disappointed that nothing new is going on, I just wait for my feeds... like sitting around waiting for someone to call... (by the way, this is why I don't have a phone, I hate starring at it when no one ever calls... depressing when no one calls... )

Back to a more happy thought: My Bike...
