# Perfect Explanation of RSS – Engaging Video Tutorial

I saw this perfect explanation of RSS on the [STC-Chicago blog](https://stc-chicago.blogspot.com/2007/04/rss-in-plain-english.html) (original source: [Commoncraft](http://www.commoncraft.com/rss_plain_english)). For people who don't quite get RSS, the guy makes a neat video explanation. If all video tutorials were this fun to watch, users would love us.

There are two types of Internet users, those that use RSS and those that don't. This video is for the people who could save time using RSS, but don't know where to start.
