RSS is one of the coolest technologies that is available to the average web user. Many people have not heard of it, or don't understand it very well. I hope to explain what it is and how it can help you keep track of your favorite web content.
First, let me explain what RSS is. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It allows the user to collect feeds from various web sites. These feeds notify the user when new content has been added to a site. You may have noticed this
orange and white logo various places on the web. This shows that a website has an RSS feed available. So, if you subscribe to these feeds, you will be notified of any new content through your feed reader.
In order to keep track of these feeds, you will need the help of a feed reader, or aggrigator. There are many options available, and they range from stand alone applications to web pages. One of the easiest to implement is the Google Homepage. If you have a Google account, you can click the Personalized Home link from the Google home page. There are a few ways to add content. You can add content to your web page by clicking the Add content ยป link in the top left hand corner of your Google Homepage. This will give you access to hundreds of feeds. You can also click any
button. Alternatively, you can use the "Add by URL" link next to the search bar. From here you can paste any feed link address. Feed link addresses can be obtained by clicking on a feed icon. Copy the web address and paste it into the URL section. my.Yahoo.com has a feed reader available as well. You can follow the same guidelines to set it up.
This should get you started. You'll be able to keep track of a number of feeds at once, with your reader notifying you of updates.
