Rss Feeds
What is RSS?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS is a new way for companies to publish their information and keep customers
updated when new information is available. Companies that are set up to use RSS will send out their information via an RSS news feed.
The news feed is updated whenever new content is published to the site. You can tell companies that offer an RSS news feed by the RSS
button on their web site.
On the end user side of the process, customers will have to initially install an RSS news reader onto their
computer, which they can download for free. Once the news reader is installed, as they visit web sites, they can click the RSS button
on the site to subscribe and add the site to their reader. They will then receive an alert each time there is an update to one of their selected sites.
