FUSE is Filesystem in USErspace:
That much I knew, but I did not really see what the point of
that was. Thanks of the examples.

With it you can take any sort of data you want, an RSS feed from Digg
for example, and wrap it in filesystem semantics and present it to the
kernel like a real filesystem which can be mounted. Now you can
view/manipulate your data using normal filesystem tools.
I think I should play with FUSE until I get that "A Ha!" moment.
