INTRODUCTION TO RSS (real simple syndication)

Especially for my parents and other “non-techies” out there who may not yet be in the know, RSS is an Internet technology innovation that automatically syndicates content from websites and weblogs. RSS feeds are delivered to an aggregator (or viewer) such as my.yahoo.com, bloglines.com, pluck.com, or newsgator.com. For beginners, my.yahoo.com features an intuitive interface and quality RSS feed search function, so you can add feeds from news sources (e.g. New York Times and Forbes), and blogs (e.g. SHARKRIDE and TechCrunch).

My favorite viewer is Newsgator because of its clean design, speed, and great functionality for deleting posts as you read, so current, unread posts are only displayed. Go register for an aggregator now. Then return and follow the orange feed button up top, select your aggregator, and you will automatically receive content updates as I post!

Welcome to the new web!
