What Is This RSS Stuff?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, or Rich Site Summary. An RSS feed is a little text file that contains information about what was updated recently on a certain site. It generally contains three things: a headline, a short summary, and a link that you can click to read the full article. The feed is formatted in the XML language, so though it is a text file, a human will have a hard time figuring out which part means what. You need an RSS reader in order to "render" an RSS news feed.There are many free readers available out there. Here are a few of the most popular:
- Google Reader
- RSS Reader
- Feedreader
- AmphetaDesk
- NewsDesk
- SharpReader
- RSSConnect
- Awasu Personal Edition
That's about it. Happy browsing!
