Webfeed: A Better Name for RSS?

Amy Gahran held a contest to pick a better name for RSS:

“The point of this contest was not about pleasing the technogeeks of the world, but rather about finding a term suitable for the majority of online users, who are fairly nontechnical.”

Her judges selected “webfeed.”

Steve Outing of Poynter, one of the judges, has some thoughts about the results of the contest.

Thanks for the FYI, LW.
