What is
RSS?
"RSS" stands for Really Simple Syndication, Rich Site Summary.
It is a standard for publishing regular updates to web-based content.
Web publishers provide updates of their sites, Blog postings.
Readers use RSS Reader applications like Newsgator/Yahoo/Feeddemon
to collect and monitor their favorite feeds at one place. RSS content from a
publisher viewed in one of these readers is often called a
"Feed".
|
Who
Publishes RSS Feeds?
Many websites, Newspapers and Blogs on the web now offer content using RSS feeds: |
How to
read RSS Feeds?
Many choices! However, there are many Desktop Applications for
Windows and Mac OS System users. I use Windows Application i.e.
FeedDemon which is my Fav. This is a Free Trial for some days
but is worth a small purchase price as it has easy use and
leisure read on Desktop. Also pre-loaded with some interesting
Feeds to explore. NetNewsWire is used for Mac OS X. Free readers are available as
well. A search for "RSS Reader" at popular search sites will get
you great results.
If your preference fall for Online Service to track and manage
your Feeds and also add a host of great Feed Reads, Newsgator,
Pluck etc. are the 'Best'. My Fav is Newsgator as you have the
advantage of being able to access your Feed Updates anywhere you
use a Web Browser (Also on Mobile Devices). Any upgrades or new
features are also added automatically. My Yahoo & My Msn is
the Best example of RSS Feed Reads that allows you to set up
your own News Online Space. |
How to publish own RSS Feed?
If you have a website or weblog, you can add RSS syndication as a publishing option, in some cases
automatically like Typepad or Blogger Publishing tool. If your
Host aministration tools offer feed-related options or controls,
its fine otherwise website owners need some programming skills in order to add RSS syndication capabilities. |
Subscribe to an RSS feed
Look for the RSS.XML Buttons like the juicy Orange and they
provide the RSS Feed. It can be in various forms:
The Juicy Orange Button :
XML(Mark up language used for RSS) :
The orange feed button

above.
