What are RSS Feeds?
RSS Feeds
RSS-also known as rich site summary or real simply syndication arrived on the scene of a number of years ago, but was only recently embraced by webmasters as a means to effectively syndicate content. RSS Feeds provide webmasters and content providers an avenue to provide concise summaries to prospective readers. Thousands of commercial Web sites and blogs now publish content Summaries in an RSS feed. Each item in the feed typically contains a heading; Article summary and link back to the online article.Advantage to Webmaster
Because the Internet has become more crowded webmasters have strive to deliver fresh and updated content for their website visitors. Many webmasters have discovered they can easily take advantage of the information contained in RSS feeds to provide fresh Web content. RSS feeds are composed in XML, which is a very simple markup language. Similar to HTML, XML uses tags to identify fields. Webmasters can easily parse the RSS feed and dynamically create Web pages that contain headlines and summaries. Feeds are updated on an ongoing basis, providing a steady stream of automatically generated fresh content. RSS allows webmasters to:
1.) Delivers fresh and relevant content on their website, which encourages users to return. 2.) constantly changing content means that search engine spiders will visit more often. 3.) automate content delivery.Advantages of RSS feeds are not limited to webmasters, surfers also benefit technology and.Advantage for Web surfers
The beauty of RSS is that readers can quickly scan headlines (titles) and read articles of interest. Because information is narrow and in a single location users can generally review more information in a shorter time frame. Additional information is only a click away. Best of all readers choose they want to see, there is no spam with RSS feeds. If you are not completely delighted with content is displayed in a feed, simply remove it from your news reader. Technology is a pull technology rather than push technology, which means that the content is not forced consumers who pulls the content they want to see.

RSS makes it possible for users to:
1.) can easily find information.

2.) Read condensced information or ' soundbytes ' with clearly marked and dated topic material.3.) Classification and categorize information in an easy to navigate manner.4.) to maximize their time without having to deal with spam. RSS feeds can be viewed in a news aggregator or a card reader, which is constantly updated and shows the unread feeds. I found the behavior of the news readers must correspond to a simple e-mail client. Consumers generally enter the URL of any RSS feeds that are of interest to them. items with a common theme can be separated into related groups.I recommend FeedDemon http://www.feeddemon.com by BradSoft as a news reader. FeedDemon is extremely easy to use and allows for quick scanning and indexing of topics. FeedDemon allows users to quickly scan, sort and scroll through headline and article summaries, while you view the actual content in a split screen web browser.Finding topic specific relevant Feeds

While the benefits users and webmasters are ready distribution opportunities available to content developers must not be forgotten. The information contained in the RSS feed can be easily published, increase content distribution and reach. RSS allows content developers to:
1.) increase exposure in niche markets.2.) Communicate with the user bases and reach potential customers through an alternate communication method.3.) disseminate relevant information. 4.) defines itself as an expert industry.5.) automate content delivery. RSS has effectively standardized format for content delivery and have effectively defined the accepted standard for content distribution and syndication. RSS will likely rival email as a means of content distribution in another year. The shear simplicity makes the technology very appealing.Potential, while albeit difficult to measure, distribution is still attractive to all parties to make the likelihood that RSS popularity will only continue to increase.
