Every newbie in this blogging world will have this question in mind. Even I had.
RSS is a technology that is being used by millions of web users around the world to keep track of their favorite websites. It is also called aggregator, which can be web-based or desktop-based.
In olden days we use 'Bookmark' to keep track of our favourite websites. Every time we have to manually return to the bookmarked site and check for updates and most of the time we forget that we had bookmarked something at all.
The Problems with Bookmarking
-You have to manually check for updates
-You cannot keep track of many web pages at the same time. Kind of complicates.
-You miss information if you forget to check the bookmark often
RSS, the saver
RSS is surely a saver and makes our life easier. RSS stands for ‘Really Simple Syndication’. Many people describe it as a ‘news feed’ that you subscribe to.
Subscription via RSS is similar to a Magazine subscription. You get monthly or weekly journals to your house by mail. You need not do anything, it comes to you. Same is with RSS reader and the best part is, you need not pay anything to get the feeds to your desktop or email.
