What is RSS about?

What is RSS all about? I am sure most people have heard about it at some stage and maybe have wondered what is it all about. Basically it is a tool that allows you to get regular updates from a site etc onto your browser or other location. This can be handy as it saves you having to go to the website to read their latest blog entry, news entry etc. Some browsers like Firefox has an inbuilt rss feader while you can use a program on your computer or an online feeder like google’s reader.

I personally regularly read various blog entries and other websites for latest news, trends, code tricks, tid bits and basically anything else to do about the every growing Internet world. So while browsing and researching ideas for my business (JP2 DESIGNS) I use RSS daily.

My biggest problem about starting to use RSS, was to find a good light weight RSS manager that controlled and managed my feeds online rather than on the computer. I switch between computers at work and home and it is a benefit to use the one solution online so I do not have to go through what I have or not read. The best solution I found would be google’s reader, and it is a plus if you already have a gmail account.

Hear is a site that features a video which may help and if not, it is cleaver enough for a look :)

“google’s reeder”? - It’s a shame that you don’t manage your own language, and this on the ABOUT-page!

@Rudi - :| umm yeah thanks for pointing out my rather shocking embarrassing spelling. WP now spell checks as you write, so hopefully there is no more bad spelling and grammar mistakes.

Thanks for taking the time to point out my mistake and I hope your stay at GermWorks was enjoyable enough.
