What is rss feed?
RSS (which, in its latest format, stands for "Really Simple Syndication") is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. An RSS document, which is called a "feed," "web feed," or "channel," contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite web sites in an automated manner that's easier than checking them manually.

Reply:RSS feeds or really simple syndication is not a process,stuff like blog entries,notes or some podcats(from apple) are updated by RSS feeds,so that means that you'll be notified right at your home page about thing from other websites without going there and wasting 10 min in logging in,RSS feeds are now also compatible with e-mail(Gmail i think).
Reply:Try searching for an "RSS Directory" in the search engine.

Reply:RSS is not complicated at all. It is a syndication standard for Interent content. In a nut shell, website visitors are tuning out email they want to choose the content they pay attention to. RSS feeds give them that luxury. They select the feeds they want to subscribe to enter them in a reader, the feed is updated in their reader when new content is added.





RSS has many, many uses, from letting website visitors know when a website is updated, to delivering news headlines, forum posts, software updates, audio files and many, many more.





RSS is also great for internet marketing and an easy way to improve a websites search engine ranking. You are providing fresh new content updated regular and search engines thrive on that.





If you are contemplating setting up an RSS feed, it need not be a difficult process. There are a number of applications available that will walk you through the process. I personally like FeedForAll http://www.feedforall.com it has a built in wizard that will guide you through your first feed.





Good luck!
Reply:It is a method which 'feeds' the content of many sites to your feedreader so that you need not visit each site separately to view it's contents.
Reply:Depends on what you mean with using. RSS feeds are usually read out by so called RSS Readers. These readers are available as an online service or as downloadable program. Personally I have found no use for RSS in these means.





It only becomes interesting when you have all your "news" and "interesting stuff" all in one place.


http://www.netvibes.com. If you go there you see you can put everything that interests you in one place. Very handy. The only thing you need to do is to get the RSS feed URL and insert it in the blocks. That's all.





If you're talking about using RSS asin you want to make a new feed: RSS is basically XML, if you google some there are wonderful tutorials about it. I'm not even interested in the mechanics of it since feeds are produced automatically in nearly every open source and closed source webapplication.
