Most people I know (outside computing and science) don't yet know what an RSS feed is, or even a blog. I think this is widespread. Many people will know the words like Facebook and MySpace, but more often than not will not understand Twitter and certainly not Plurk or Pownce. They may have photos online but are more likely to have used a digitising/uploading service from a photo store than flickr. The list goes on...we are the pioneers in this strange new land, we're speaking the immigrants' pidgin. For our children all this novelty will be old-hat, they'll have adopted the creole.
