FAQ

What is RSS?

Watch this 3 minute video on Youtube about RSS

RSS (Real Simple Syndication) which is one part of web 2.0 technology is getting adopted by many websites. Yahoo, Google, CNN, and several larger sites have implemented RSS already.

RSS however, by nature, is a techie term and it is not understood by the average users. It is also not clear to the regular users that visit your website; how they can leverage this technology in their normal day to day internet usage.

What does RSS mean to the average user?

RSS is analogous to a “newsletter”. So when a website has an RSS feed that their users can subscribe to, all it means is that they can subscribe to a newsletter. This subscription is slightly different than your normal newsletter.

1. There is no fee for subscribing to this “feed” / newsletter
2. There is no email spam or postal mail that is sent as part of the subscription.

So for example, when a website sells flowers, they can make RSS available to their users. This means that once their users subscribe for this newsletter, they no longer need to visit that website daily to see changes. Any new flower that becomes available, they will know about it right away. Any new information that is available, they will know about it right away.

Let’s say a user is looking for a new house in Palo Alto, California. They know of a website called realestate.com. Instead of visiting this web site everyday and seeing what is new, they could just subscribe to this RSS newletter. RSS would let them know right away if anything new has come up on the market.

So how do users get notified when a change has happened to some website? This is where RSS readers come in. An RSS reader like Google Reader or Bloglines or Netvibes is an application that allow users to subscribe to various websites and get notified when something has changed on that website. Users just visit Google reader daily to find out about changes that happen to hundreds of website in one place; similar to a giant newsletter that is comprised of all kinds of information.
