RSS Basics
Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication
Uses
News summary and link
Updated hourly
Compiled by an aggregator
I use it to get updates from 20 sites all in one place
- News & Announcements - headlines, notices and any list of announcements that are added to over time
- Document listings - lists of added or changed pages, so that people don't need to constantly check for different content
- Bookmarks and other external links - while most people use RSS for sharing links from their own sites, it's a natural fit for sharing lists of external links
- Calendars - listings of past or upcoming events, deadlines or holidays
- Mailing lists - to compliment a Web-based archive of public or private e-mail lists
- Search results - to let people track changing or new results to their searches
- Databases - job listings, software releases, etc.
