RSS is a method of taking or
providing website content and exporting it for other uses to
other websites, personal newsreaders, businesses, email, and
myriad other things. It can also provide one business with
another's inventory, it can check interest rates at your local
bank, or provide the latest news and weather right to your
PDA. RSS stands for (depending who you ask) "Really Simple
Syndication" or "RDF Site Summary" (Where, in turn, RDF Stands
for "Resource Description Framework"). Regardless of what it
stands for, it is a protocol for taking information and
spreading it around where you want it to go, based on (get
ready for another acronym!) XML, or eXtensible Markup
Language.
AkronNewsNow.com
is using the new RSS feed button recently adopted by Microsoft
and Mozilla/Firefox for each company's new browsers. See
Microsoft's RSS development blog
here. If you are unfamiliar with this graphic, it
indicates that the news or content section it occupies has a
RSS/XML file associated with that content and you may
subscribe to that 'feed' by using the internet address the
icon links to. This icon takes the place of buttons you might
already be familiar with, like these:
