What is an RSS Feed and why are they everywhere?

RSS Stands for Really Simple Syndication

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It takes the complexity of a website page and simplifies it with important content, publishing info, and copyright info. It excludes excessive imagery and redundant content from websites making it exclusive access to rich media.

What’s with the RSS Feed Icon?

The icon is symbolic to its purpose. The dot represents the starting point from which the information is carried out. It opens a powerful gateway of communication by email, Facebook, Twitter and more. The information is directly accessible to all RSS Feed subscribers.

RSS Feeds Bring the Website to the Viewer

Although RSS Feeds have been around since 1999, they haven’t been as popular as they should be. Years after its creation, it was no longer a question of popularity. RSS Feeds became a must for ecommerce shopping carts, blogs, and other websites that have regularly updated content. An RSS Feed takes the most important content of a web page and bundles it up with a title and description. It allows the user to “tune in” through a viewing source known as RSS Readers.

Once a user subscribes to an RSS Feed, he’s guaranteed the next important episode of web information. As each piece of quality content is composed, the user is notified by his preferred method. The user may choose to have them sent by email, displayed through the Google homepage or another RSS Reader of his choice. It’s almost like receiving the newspaper every morning, except you get to choose the type of sections included.

Simply put, RSS Feeds bring the website to you.
