Unfortunately, I'm finding the Dummies and Idiots books more and more useful. They just have a way of giving you the bare-bones basics of any given subject, which is hard to find on the Internet. (No, sometimes Wikipedia doesn't have all the answers. Unless you want to know everything there is to know about Harry Potter. Then it does.)
The book covers RSS readers, formats, uses, etc. For me, the most useful part was the distinction that is made between a "consumer/subscriber" and a "producer/provider" of feeds. I'm creating content for a presentation on RSS for small businesses, and I kept beating my head against the wall when it came to discussing the different applications depending on whether you want to use feeds to get information or to give information.
