RSS: Organize and Update your content easily

RSS Feeds is a technology that makes the blogger and reader's life easier in being aware about new content.

RSS consists in a document that represents a site's summary, It contains a title, a description (article summary) and the URL of that article.

The blogger has tools to put in his blog a link to this document. When a reader clicks in this link he/she subscribes to the service of being notified of new content.

The final user has an aggregator (a software that can request and read this kind of RSS documents) in his machine so he can centralize all his favorites web sites and he can be notified without visiting the web sites.

The RSS model is a subscription-notification mechanism, when new content is created the subscribers are notified of that.


Here are some kind of aggregators:

1) The Mozilla Firefox Web Browser Plugin:
You can add to your bookmarks the rss feeds you want as easy as put a bookmark (Thanks Free Software!! ;) ):
