- Other ways?
- One of the comments on the talk was that the title was misleading. I didn't really talk about "tools" (plural) but just about RSS. Well, okay. I guess I was focused on the multiple ways to use RSS. Are things like social networking tools (linkedin.com) really having an effect on the general public?
