Today I'm going to celebrate The 1st RSS Awareness Day.
Do you know RSS? Do you use it? Let me explain:
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a format used to deliver information from websites and pages that get updated regularly. An RSS document (which is called feed) contains either a summary or the full content from a website.
The main benefit of RSS is that it enables people to stay connected with their favorite websites without having to visit them. Once you subscribe to a particular RSS feed, you will automatically receive updates from the website that publishes the feed, whenever they release new content.
You can use online RSS readers (like Google Reader, Bloglines, Newsgator, Netvibes) or your email. Take a look at the video below:
