RSS

RSS is the abbreviation of Rich Site Summary. It is said to be a key technology for Internet users, but few of my friends seem to be taking advantage of it. To tell the truth, it was the beginning of this year when I myself started to use it, and I feel now I can't live without using RSS. As the name shows, RSS is just a form which describes the summary or updates of the site. It is so simple that most blog systems and news services are supporting it, and if you install a so called RSS reader software, you can benefit from it; you can automatically get all the summary data from your favorite web sites by just subscribing the site's RSS once. It means that you don't have to check your favorite web site several times a day by hand. You don't even visit the site if you are satisfied with the summary information. It's very simple, convenient, and gentle to the network resources. If the installation process could be easier or omitted, RSS would become far more popular. As the next version of Internet Explorer is to be released soon with RSS support, it's only a matter of time before the age of RSS comes.
