In
a world heaving under the weight of billions of web pages, keeping
up-to-date with the information you want can be a drag.
Wouldn't it be better to have the latest news and features delivered
directly to you, rather than clicking from site to site?
RSS allows you to see when sites from all over the internet have
added new content. You can get the latest headlines and articlesin
one place, as soon as they are published, without having to remember
to visit each site every day.
It takes the hassle out of staying up-to-date, by showing you the
very latest information that you are interested in. RSS stands,
for 'Really Simple Syndication'. RSS feeds are just a special kind
of web page, designed to be read by computers rather than people.
It might help to think of them as the free, internet version of
the old-fashioned ticker-tape news wire machines.
Not all websites currently provide RSS, but it is growing rapidly
in popularity and many others, including the BBC, Digital Spy and even my Wetsuitlads
website provide it. |
