RSS - Spy Kid Central!!!

1. RSS is a spy kid central. Noooo just joking it really stands for Really Simple Syndication and to make it even more simpler syndication is where the website material is made available to other people in an easier way. It is the format for distributing news and other web content. When you put content into RSS and it is sent to other people or websites, it is called a feed. RSS is not just used for blogs it can be used for many other website content.

2.A feed is a format used to publish works. Therefore the things that go into a feed is all your updated works that you want publish, such as blogs like the one I am writing now, audio, newsletters and video. You can have a partial feed and a full feed. A partial feed includes a headline and a quick summary with a link to the website where the rest of the content is located. A full feed is when you don't need a link back to the website it is already there in the news reader, therefore there is no need to go back to the website to fetch the content.

3.Feeds keep you updated but they do it in a way where you can manage the flow of information you recieve. There is no need for searching the web the information is sent straight to your desktop.

4.Feeds are different from emails because feeds are relevant to the person reading them. Emails are just throwing things at your face when you don't even want them. They don't want to hear from companies they have dealt with. They want information on their past purchasing habits in a way in which they have the power to control it. RSS feeds are also anonymous so you don't have to give out your email address

5.To read a feed you have to obtain a newsreader or content aggregator. These things offer special features such as combining several related feeds into single view, hiding items the viewer has already seen and categorizing feeds and items, basically making it more organized for you.

6.To find the feeds you want to subscribe to you have to obtain a reader and then there is a little RSS button that will come up in an orange or grey colour that will enable you to view any other updated content as well from that website as a feed.

How Cool is Spy Kid Central ;)
