Interesting. We thought it was very self-explanatory, but maybe we have just been too immersed in it. It's a homepage (in the sense of your browser's starting page) which holds links to the sites you always visit.

It auto discovers the RSS feed and periodically checks them, but we never refer to it as "RSS feeds" on the site. We tried to abstract that process as much as possible, so it becomes like any other toggle button.

That's exactly what we were going for, to hook them and pull them to step two (which will hopefully pull them to step three, and so on). Now that we have the format, we plan on continuing to tweak the copy until we find something that works.
