What is RSS?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and it has changed the way tech
junkies stay in touch with the latest developments and breaking news on the
web. If you're a neat freak like me you will remember having organized your
browser bookmarks into different categories. One of my categories used to be
"Daily Checkers" - the sites I would check on a daily basis. The problem
with this was that I needed to do this every day to see whether there was
any new content - and most days I was just too busy to get through the list.
So how does RSS work?
RSS saves you from having to manually check web sites for new content.
The web site owner enables an RSS feed which is essentially an XML file with
standard fields describing content items on that site. You subscribe to an
RSS feed using an RSS reader which interprets this file keeping track of the
items you have read and checking periodically for new items. Once you have
your hands on an RSS reader the rest of the
process works very similarly to how you read and receive email. In fact
Outlook 2007 has a built in RSS reader.
Wherever you see the RSS feed icon
- it's your queue that you can click on the icon and subscribe to an RSS
feed.
