different web sites, and pushes those headlines down to your computer for quick
scanning. It’s a way to easily distribute a list
of headlines, update notices, and content to a wide number of audiences. You

from other websites or any specific page, the topic, news, article that
interest you.

community whose content (Article, News,Topic ) changes on an unpredictable
schedule. RSS is repeatedly checking each webpage to see if there are any new
content and notifications of changes to multiple web pages are handled easily, and
the results are presented to you well organized.

having the website author maintain a list of subscribers on their webpage in a define manner, basically
simple text files that, once submitted to feed directories, will allow

developed that automatically access the RSS feeds of websites you care about on
your behalf and organize the results for you.
