(Sample RSS Icon)RSS or Really Simple Syndication has been around for a long time. It is a great mechanism for sharing information. Newspapers were probably the first to use RSS on a widespread basis. Blogging has popularized RSS even more.
Prior to Web 2, you generally used a news aggregator (RSS Reader) to view RSS. But recently more and more tools are being developed to view RSS. Most web browsers have a built in RSS reader. Internet Explore 7 has a nice RSS reader, just click on an RSS item and you will be launched into their reader. Most personalized home-page sites such as iGoogle, NetVibes, Page Flakes all come with the capabilities to add RSS to your personalized pages.
Sometimes RSS is referred to as a feed. At iBanknet.com the majority of our content is available in feeds, so individuals can subscribe to a feed and add it to their personalized home pages.
RSS is a very interesting topic and I will post much on this later.
