What is an RSS feed?
Really Simple Syndication (RSS)
is a web content syndication
format and is based of the XML
standard. (more
information)
RSS is used for syndicating news
by some of the major websites on
the net. (slashdot,
zdnet,
cnet,
etc.). It's not only used for
news but also personal weblogs.
This allows for people and
websites to share information in
an easy manner. This was
originally developed by Netscape
Communications for the purpose
of building high-end web
portals, but was eventually
dropped due to the decline in
the portal on the Net. The first
version of RSS were also deemed
"extremely difficult" to use and
maintain. Eventually another
vendor (UserLand)
picked up RSS and helped
simplify it into what it is
today.
