RSS, what’s that?

It stands for Really Simple Syndication for a Really Slow Site that function as a Rich Site Summarizer. In other terms, RSS can give you an information update of the site without ever going on the site. It’s like a newspaper getting delivered in front of your door.

But I still don’t get it?

Sigh...It’s an automated website summarizer. When there are new articles, events posted on the site, RSS takes that information and creates what’s known as a feed. The feed is a web link in which it must be put to an RSS reader in order to view the information. The process of accessing the feed is called subscribing.

I don’t want to subscribe. I don’t want to pay for it.

It’s free!

OK, What’s so good about RSS anyway?

Well, lets say everyday you go to a site where you download the daily information such as pictures, music, articles into your iPod, it would be a waste of time if you missed those several days. But with RSS, you can subscribe to a feed or more through iTunes and all you have to do is sync and everything will be downloaded even the days you’ve missed.

With RSS, you can add it to your blogs and the links will automatically update. You even turn it into a news ticker.
