Really Simple Syndication (RSS)

Really Simple Syndication or more commonly known as RSS FEEDS is probably the most useful part of this assignment. RSS basically gives you a summary of all that is new your favorite sites. Now there are 3 ways to get RSS feeds the first one is through desks top software’s like Microsoft office outlook. This give the same feeds and a little bit more security than web explorers, however it can’t be use just anywhere because it is based on your computer, so if you use any other it becomes difficult to transfer your saved sites. The second way of getting RSS feeds is through your web browser (i.e. Firefox). This once again gives you the same feeds but just like Microsoft Outlook it is based on your computer and it is also easily accessed by other people. The third and final way of getting RSS feeds is by a web-base generator (i.e. Google Reader). This is probably the best way to get RSS feeds, and there two main reasons for it. One it is web-based therefore you can access your account in any computer. Two it is via web-account so it is safe as long as you careful not to leave it online. Your account is well protected just like any account therefore it has more privacy option than the last two ways of getting it. Probably the most useful part of having RSS feeds is that you don’t have to visit each individual site anymore, which is time consuming. It just gives you a list and a corresponding number beside each name on how many updates the site has made. It is very useful in your everyday life when it is time to relax after a hard day’s work, to not visit each individual site looking if there is something new in your favorite comic, music, blog and other things. Just log in and scan, less time and effort doing it. As for convenience a web-based RSS feed generator is the best, because it is accessible to any computer and is protected by your own account user-name and password.
