RSS feed and its working

RSS stands for Rich Site Summery or Really Simple Syndication which in turn let you know the latest updates of the site if you subscribe to it. The website will send you the daily updates made to the site or blog with your permission so you can stay up to date with the new posts or news. Put simply, it’s a feed that takes regularly updated content from a site or blog and send it to you if you have accepted to receive so that there would not be need of checking site for regular updates. Now the blogs automatically create RSS feeds like calendars, news updates etc. The feed is created as simple XML files and stored on the server till someone subscribes them. 

For website administrators, RSS feeds are the best way to advertise the new updated content on their sites without the headache of sending mass email newsletters. The file which is stored on server as XML file contains the main URL, a set of items which includes the title of the content, a link to the content on the site and a brief description. The old method of RSS was to send emails of the updates of the site to people. But now RSS completely does it automatically. When you subscribe a RSS feed, it means that all the new content updated on your site will be available to your regular readers so that they can copy the link and put it in to their RSS software.

Many people describe RSS feed as News feed. Its like I m subscribing for a magazine and the updated magazine I m getting every month. And you can get RSS feed of your favorite sites in your mail box by just one click. There are many websites available that offer free news readers like Bloglines, My Yahoo, Google Reader, Feed Demon and many more.
