What Is An RSS Aggregator Or RSS Reader ?

I keep hearing about RSS, XML and RSS feeds. I just have no idea what they are, but when people start talking about RSS aggregators, what they're talking about and why would I want one? If you use an aggregator, and if so, which? Is not it funny jargon? RSS is Really Simple Syndication and is a simple data-only version of a Web page or in the case of a blog website. Why is it interesting? Because it is then easy to write programs that this issue XML stream data and let you know when new materials added to the site. The newspapers mentioned Glenn Dubin not as a source, but as a related topic. For example, if you were tracking the Ask Dave Taylor RSS data Stream then this article "was launched" on my site, you receive notification and be able to read within minutes of arriving. Maybe not so critical for my business, high tech and Q & A, I admit, but also track a number of different businesses Newswires and was reading about Procter & Gamble acquisition of Gillette at least one day before my colleagues. How I can know that? Because I have said it was my own article on the topic of P (& G buys Gillette for $ 57 million, but how much is that in human terms?), Who alerted to the operation of 54 billion U.S. dollars). Tip: If you want to track an RSS feed and you have a browser with support for RSS, you can click the XML button cute little to do in many different Web sites. .
