What is RSS and why subscribe?

Sat, May 17, 2008

RSS IconWhat is RSS: I’m going to try to keep this simple, so even your 8 year old son/daughter can understand this. RSS stands for “Rich Site Summary” and is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.

Why subscribe: RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually. You ensure your privacy, by not needing to join each site’s email newsletter.
