What is an RSS Feed?
Wikipedia says (at the time this was written) that RSS is “a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works such as blog entries, news, audio, and video in a standardized format” This doesn’t tell the whole story,so if you’re keen to understand how RSS can help you to plan and build your business, have a look at the excellent video explanation at RSS in Plain English.
This is a three minute video presentation that gives a clear indication of how as a business owner who makes use of the web, you can use RSS to gather and supply valuable information.
RSS is spam free and enables you to receive your favorite sources of information without having to keep searching online. Once you have a website you should attempt to make sure your own content is available via RSS.
