Several website ask you to subscribe to RSS feeds. if you do not use them you might be missing something.

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. We are, in 2008, using the 2.0 version.

What does it do ? is it useful ?

Before blogging become so popular, you could keep track of your favorite website in your bookmarks. However now with so many good website content, you cannot go to check each and every website you like to see if new content was published. This where RSS comes from. In short, Instead of you having to go check for new content, you get notified we new content is published.
You may not realized now but this saves you time. You can also just go to see the best articles published in the hundreds of website you have subscribed !

Great concept don’t you think?
You have to choices you can receive the updates in your mail inbox like a regular email, or you can use a reader a separate application or web page that will store these information so you can read then at any time.

You might get spam in your inbox, but RSS is a win-win situation, so you will not get more spam for giving your email address.

Please tell if you where using it before and if you are going to use it now.
