Some related Technologies Demystified -- RSS
* RSS or Really Simple Syndication sounds very geeky, but in fact is the one of the most useful ways of floating on the information deluge. Instead of spending time constantly checking favourite websites and blogs for updates or having alerts clogging up email box, you have that information come to you in one place.
The geeky explanation is that it is XML format created to syndicate news and in that way share content of the web. The Backinskinnyjeans blog explains RSS in Oprah-speak as "Ready for Some Stories" where one subscribes to a site or blog and gets "fed" all the new headlines.
You need to have an RSS reader which gathers all the feeds (or headlines) from all the websites -- if you have a MyYahoo, MyMSN or Gmail accounts, you have a reader. Bloglines is another free webbased reader.
What about making the content of your blog available as a feed? Two "feedmaking" sites that we recommend are Feedburner and MultiRSS.
