Tomorrow is RSS Awareness Day and i am taking part to spread the word. Since majority of the internet users are not familiar with RSS, let me share a little information to help you and understand RSS is.

What is RSS?
RSS - Really Simple Syndication is a format used to deliver information from websites that get updated regularly. An RSS document which is called feed contains either a summary or the full content from a website.

Why use RSS?
RSS helps people who frequently use the internet. It keeps you informed by getting the latest information from the websites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually. You also ensure your privacy, by not needing to subscribe each website’s email newsletter.

What do I need to do to read an RSS Feed? RSS Feed Readers and News Aggregators
There are different kinds of RSS Readers available from different platforms. Other popular feed readers are Amphetadesk for Windows, Linux and Mac, FeedReader for Windows, and NewsGator for Windows that integrates with Outlook. There are also a number of web-based feed readers available like My Yahoo, Bloglines, and Google Reader.

As a blogger i prefer Bloglines, i have more than a hundred feeds listed on it. I find it easy to track and get updates from blogs i usually visit. If you are using Bloglines kindly add my feed or subscribe to my feed via RSS  Subscribe Here

Spread the word! Happy Blogging!
