Here's a quick overview of concepts used in rhub that you may not be familiar with. For each concept a short description is given, with a link to further information.
The console is a way of controlling rhub throught he use of simple text commands. These commands can be sent from your mobile phone, MSN Messenger, Jabber/Gtalk, email or the web. Best of all you get to use what ever medium you want, so you can use rhub on the go, or without having to sign-in.
Your 'current' information such as what you are doing, where you are and so on is referred to as 'presence information' in rhub.
Sets are collections of things and they have a name and a description. A set may allow anyone to view and add contents, other sets may be private. A set is similar to a folder, or album if you are thinking about photos.
Tags are single words that are attached to things such as photos or locations. A thing can have multiple tags, and you can reuse tags on other types of items.
Anyone can tag something, however you can only edit your own tags.
Clicking a tag will show you things people have tagged it on, thus it lets you organise things in a haphazard manner.
A 'feed' (aka RSS feed) is a list of items that you can subscribe using a feed reader (aka RSS reader, news reader). The feed reader will notify you when new items are added to the list so you don't have to manually check it yourself. You can work with feeds in a variety of ways with rhub: publishing, aggregating and syndicating.
