RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" When you see the little:
Either on your browser bar or on a website, that is the indication that this site serves up RSS feeds for those who wish to subscribe.
There are a few dozen free [or in some cases minimal fee] rss readers [also known as agregators] that can bring these feeds to either a webpage or to a device that can read them. For instance, look on the browser bar above this webpage and see a Rss symbol, and also on the webpage itself. For this webpage, as far as I can determine, the feed is only designed to highlight the last 50 topics posted. By subscribing to the feed, I was able to automatically load the top few topics to my Yahoo page [using Yahoo Feedreader]. I can glance there at all my feeds, for news and discussion forums that I use often for instance. Your feedreader will update and refresh based on your preferences.
Shortly after I posted this topic yesterday it appeared on my home page in Yahoo, as it would for anyone else who subscribed to the feed from this site. I am just looking for others who have found a particularly advantageous way to use this technology. I am slowly figuring it out. I like being able to glance at my various interests in one place while checking the web daily.
It is faster than jumping from page to page to find out what is going on. I just scroll over the items and see the gist.
