What are RSS Feeds and Why You Need a RSS Reader?

What are RSS Feeds ?

An RSS feed is created in a non-HTML format called XML. RSS feeds bring automatically updated information straight to your desktop. You can monitor

  • News
  • Headlines
  • Newsletters
  • Articles
  • Job listings
  • Personals
  • Classifieds etc..

However, if you click one of these links, you will most likely get a page full of details in your browser.

Content published in an RSS feed is typically set up to send out notifications whenever new material is available. This makes the new content immediately available to feed readers and RSS search engines.

Why You Need a RSS Reader ?

RSS readers or aggregators can interpret and display the XML coding. The web browsers can not do this. You use an RSS reader to bring new, constantly updated material to you, from all your favorite sites.
