What is RSS feed?

I think many people (or at least the people I know) are not making use of the RSS feed function. Hence, I decided to share my 2 cents worth on it since a friend of mine asked me about it. According to our Mr.Wiki, RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format.

Which in layman’s term, means if you have a favorite blog or website that you want to be notified of any new updates, it’ll do the work for you. Which saves the work of you bookmarking that page, or going back to page day after day to check if there have been any recent updates.

There’s no new opening account or subscription needed to make use of this function as, it works in hand with your Yahoo or Google mail account. All you have to do is, look out for the sign below on your favorite blog or site, and click on it to subscribe. (Note: We have one on our blog as well, on the bottom right) Alternatively, you can also go to the bookmark column on your Internet Explorer or Firefox and choose, Subscribe to this page.



Hope it was useful to those who had no idea what it was. I am enjoying it because I have a whole list of blogs that I follow and I always want to be notified the first when there’s a new update :)
