What is RSS, and Why Should You Care?
Great post on why RSS is such an interesting concept.
Several readers have asked me by e-mail and via blog comments here, "Amy, what is this RSS stuff you keep talking about? What's so cool or important about it?" Here are the basics. RSS stands for Rich Site Summary (or Really Simple Syndication, take your pick). In a nutshell, RSS is a new way for people who publish content online to notify people interested in that content whenever fresh content is made available online. By notifying people interested in your content, as well as Web sites that collect and package content announcements (called aggregators), you are "feeding" them your content � hence the term RSS feed.
