RSS

Short for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary, thishandy service is revolutionizing the way we search for content.

In addition, us web searchers don't necessarily have to keepchecking back to any particular site to see if it's been

updated - all we need to do is subscribe to the RSS feed,much like you would subscribe to a newspaper, and thenread the updates from the site, delivered via RSS feeds, inwhat's called a "feed reader." (We'll get to feed readers injust a minute!)
