RSS - Really Simple Syndication

RSS is another way of building a dynamic content website and publishing news.

History 1997, now RSS 2.0 in 2003. 50% sites still use RSS 0.91, 25% RSS 1.0, 12.5% 0.9x and 12.5% 2.0.

With RSS,

1. you create a RSS document and save it with a xml extension
2. upload the file to your website
3. register it with a RSS aggregator

The aggregator searches the registered websites for RSS documents, verify the link and displays information about the feed so clients can link to documents that interests them.
