RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication.  One of it’s earlier standards also referred to it as Rich Site Summary; either description is now used interchangeably.  Syndication can be defined as sharing information or the distribution and extension of data.  So, in a nut shell, RSS is a standard that allows us to easily and quickly share frequently updated data to, literally, millions of people over the Internet.

There is another variant of this type of syndication known as the Atom Syndication Format -Atom for short, and is another very similar type of syndication standard.  For the purposes of this article, I will be referring to RSS feeds specifically, but the Atom Style Feed works very similarly and virtually everything that can be done with an RSS feed can also be done with an Atom Feed.

So what is an RSS FEED? An RSS Feed in it’s basic format is a “table of contents” for the information appearing on your website.  It contains a text list (formatted in XML) of the headlines and titles of your posts or articles and will contain either a brief or full summary of your writings.  The feed will contain direct clickable links to your articles or posts.  The RSS feed may also contain media elements such as pictures.

Many users of the Internet are not aware of the proliferation of the large amount of RSS feeds found scattered all over the Internet.  This is due in part to the nature of the RSS feed and, until recently, the inability of web browsers to interpret them properly.   A couple of common terms used in conjunction with RSS feeds are “subscribe” and “subscriptions”.  When you “subscribe” to an RSS feed you are making a connection to the RSS feed that will allow you to be notified and obtain updates of newly created postings almost as soon as they are published.  This is one of the reasons for the success and universal adoption of the RSS Feed phenomena.

Almost every new version of the various web browsers available today offer some way to subscribe to an RSS feed. To test if your browser can interpret (or read) an RSS feed correctly, click on the following link http://www.mustech.net/feed (will open a new window).  If your browser is able to interpret the RSS feed correctly, you will see a very nicely formatted window with clickable links.  If it is not able to correctly interpret the RSS Feed, you will see a mass of squashed together text usually with the words xml version at the front of it.  When you are able to view the XML RSS Feed correctly, you are using what is known as a FEED READER.
