Have you noticed an orange icon in a square format on practically all the websites? Some times there are lots many colored formats with words like add to google. Have you wondered what all these icons stand for? If you click on these icons you will get a new webpage. There will be info regarding how to subscribe your rss feed from that particular web site to your rss reader. This is all confusing, right? I have deliberately put all this info in confusing manner. Let us make sense out of all this info in this short article about rss where I will try to explain this concept of rss to an average Joe.
You are a die hard fan of a particular fan. You want to keep in touch with every bit of updated info about your favorite actor. You have some four websites devoted to movies as your favorites. Whenever you want to have some updated news about your favorite actor, you go to all these websites one by one. Then you go through the entire website to find out updated info about your favorite actor. Then you repeat this procedure for three more websites. Sometimes you are lucky and find some interesting updated info about your favorite actor. Many a times there is no updated info at all. The time and efforts that you have put in searching the updated info is wasted.
The rss technology does exactly the opposite of this. The latest updated news about your favorite actor comes to your desktop finding you. It is these four websites who will compete with each other to send the updated news about your favorite actor to your desktop. You do not have to go to the web to fin d the content. The web content comes to your desktop searching you. This is the main concept behind this rss technology which syndicates web content for you.
How can you make use of this rss technology? You have to get rss reader first. This web content is sent to you in particular html format. You can not read this rss feed in normal manner. You have to use this rss reader to convert this rss feed in to normal readable format. This rss reader is available at lot many places including in google account. You have to first get this rss reader. Then you have to subscribe for rss feed from your favorite website. Go to your favorite website. There will be that orange icon or some other rss feed subscription icon. You will have to click on it. Then follow the instructions. This way your rss reader is now connected with the rss feed of your favorite website. You will start getting all the updated news about your favorite actor from all four websites on your desktop.
