RSS FEED EXPLAINED
RSS is a family of web feed formats, specified in XML and used for Web syndication . RSS is used by (among other things) news Web sites, weblogs and podcasting. The abbreviation is variously used to refer to the following standards: · Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)
· Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91, RSS 1.0)
· RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9 and 1.0)
Web feeds provide web content or summaries of web content together with links to the full versions of the content, and other metadata. RSS, in particular, delivers this information as an XML file called an RSS feed, webfeed, RSS stream, or RSS channel. In addition to facilitating syndication, web feeds allow a website's frequent readers to track updates on the site using an aggregator .
USAGE
A program known as a feed reader or aggregator can check a list of feeds on behalf of you and display any updated articles that it finds. RSS-aware programs are available for various operating systems. Client-side readers and aggregators are typically constructed as standalone programs or extensions to existing programs such as web browsers . Browsers such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7, Mozilla Firefox , Safari and Opera browsers have integrated support for RSS feeds.
With Firefox, you may subscribe our Internet Marketing RSS Feed feed just by clicking on the button near the address bar and you will see updates on our website on your browser.
Web-based feed readers and news aggregators require no software installation and make the user's "feeds" available on any computer with Web access.
There are also search engines for content published via web feeds like Feedster or Blogdigger .
You may also click on these news aggregators buttons such as " My Yahoo! " and others as shown above (syndication) to simplify the process of adding news feeds to your webpage.
If the buttons do not work you may simply copy the addresses stated above into your feed reader:
