I work with sales, marketing and engineering people who could benefit from the power of RSS and RSS readers. After an informal poll I concluded that giving a thirty minute lunchtime seminar on RSS could be extremely beneficial. After I sent out the seminar invitation I immediately received almost two dozen RSVP's.
How many of you have had similar urges to disseminate the power of RSS to your coworkers and friends who are not yet in tune with RSS? Once I have the presentation completed I will post the Keynote/PowerPoint file.

Yes please! I frequently have to walk people at work through the concepts of RSS, but my PPT aversion** means I haven't done anything properly, so your presentation would be great.

I just recently found an old article on RSS by Mike Golding and have been adding a feed to all of my public DBs. Great Stuff! Please provide your ppt as well as what the audience reaction was.

Domino rocks as an RSS server. Some thoughts for your presentation...
You can password protect RSS feeds. RSS Feed Readers don't understand cookie-based authentication, but they can use "simple authentication". Setup a new web address like rss.company.com. Domino Web Engine > Session authentication > Disabled.
When an RSS feed is password protected, you can do some interesting things.
Individual documents in a Lotus Notes database can have Reader controls, right? Poof! Instant customized content delivery to the specific user polling your RSS feed.

@Brian...
Unless you have a Domino Utility Server license, how would you propose managing the licensing issues for external users/subscribers?

@Christopher, License would need to be Domino Utility Server, or Domino Enterprise Server to support applications. Domino Messaging Server is only for email. You already know this, so I'm confused by your question.

@Brian: I think Christopher was talking about Client Access Licenses. You need a CAL for every user in your directory even if they do not use a Notes Client but a browser.
