Andy Ihnatko reports on the value of RSS subscriptions for keeping you up to date.
An RSS file is simply a text file located on a Web server and is openly readable by any app that knows its location. It contains a sophisticated database that summarizes a Web site’s content. Usually, the file is created and maintained by the same software that a Web master uses to create the site; every time a news item is posted, a new entry is added to the RSS file containing the item’s headline, a summary and a link to the item itself, though RSS is a flexible standard and can track far more information.
I also wrote about this earlier in my article Radio 8.0 – It’s my Secret Weapon.
