Feed ignorant, in my case. I've seen many mentions of feeds (or should I say, "feeds") over the past two or three years, and discussions of feed readers and such, but I've been too lazy-fearful-ignorant to ever find out exactly what a feed is or how it works. So, I continue to manually surf a collection of favorite sites on a more-or-less daily basis.
Is there a Simplistic Guide to Feeds for the Technically Impaired available? If so, I would love to check it out!
For your even greater amusement: her updates about her updates are individually typed and sent; that is, personalized! I'm guessing we can't say that about, oh, Neil Gaiman and his million-hits-a-month website.
Questions are good. They encourage thought and stimulate potential movement from my technophobic (more accurately, technolethargic) comfort zone.
Anyway... did'ja sign up?
I hope someone else chimes in and can give you a better explanation. Do you use Firefox? You'd be able to take advantage of the Feed Icon that appears on the right hand side of the URL text field.

Compare rich local feed aggregators like newsgator and remote aggregators like Google Reader (previously linked) and bloglines. Would you want the rich experience from one computer, or an up-to-date list of articles to read from any computer?
