RSS feed is one of the most interesting technology popping up at almost every website and web based information distribution system. The name stands for Real Simple Syndication.
The one thing that comes to mind to compare it with is a programmed radio station which gives you the benefit of one click or touch to go to your favorite station without having to search for the station all over again and again.
RSS feed does just that but instead of the radio station it is for your website. It simply allows you to access Newsletter, Article, or any other material you subscribed to display on your desktop and you get to choose which one to read or delete. You only go online to look for new information.
There are feeds for every information source on the internet from Articles to Internet Magazines just about everything imaginable has a feed. The RSS reader will display the heading and maybe one or two lines of information that way you can scan through several pages of information within a short period of time.
Unlike subscribing to Newsletter the RSS feed can be turned on and off very easily or simply delete the feed if the quality of the content drops to undesirable level. There is no spam to deal with, no opting out of email list, no reconfirmation of emails, no more deleting tons of emails before you can get to a good one.
It simplifies life cutting down on various information junk that you receive daily. Signing up and dropping the service is relatively easy to do.
Because of this popularity among all internet users the publishers better be on their games with most relevant and worthy news or loose their subscribers to competition. For subscribers this is good news because they will waste less time searching for good and worth while information. The quality of the RSS feeds has greatly improved over the last few years because of the sudden popularity.
