netmanos.com adds Really Simple Syndication (RSS)
An often overlooked aspect of web site development lies within the realm of news distribution.
Countless web sites have a section in which pertinent news items are displayed. Unlike news-centric websites, whose main function is to continuously supply information, these sections are seldom updated. The problem with this scenario is that a site visitor will not return to the website once in a while hoping that there will be new information; thereby losing touch with the website. The solution is to send the news to the visitor when they become available. Enter RSS, the “newsletter” of the future.
According to Wikipedia, RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts. An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed", or "channel") contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with web sites in an automated manner that can be channeled into special programs or filtered displays.
RSS content can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader" or an "aggregator". The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds.
