RSS Awareness Day
Not many people are aware of this, but May 1st is
RSS Awareness Day!
Although blogging has become very popular in recent years, there are many people who do not know the first thing about RSS and feed readers. The quick explanation from RSSDay.org:
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a format used to deliver information from websites and pages that get updated regularly. An RSS document (which is called feed) contains either a summary or the full content
from a website.
For the fun (and more informative answer), I hope you will watch the video above, created by The CommonCraft Show.
Do You Know About RSS?
Is this old news to you, or are you new to the world of blogging and RSS / Feed Readers? If you’re an old pro, what is your favorite feed reader? I personally use and love Netvibes.
Other popular RSS readers include My Yahoo, Google Reader and Bloglines to name a few.
