Know about RSS

RSS = Really Simple Syndication. What is it ?

An RSS feed is a little text file that contains information about what was updated recently on a certain site. An RSS feed generally contains three things, a headline, a short summary, and a link which you can click to read the full article.

An RSS feed is formatted in the XML language, so though it is a text file, a human would have a hard time figuring out which part means what. You need a RSS Reader in order to “render” an RSS news feed.

There are many free tools available out there that do this, but our favorites are the following:

RSS Reader 1.08

FEED DEMON is another great and freeware tool.
