Could anyone tell me about RSS email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. anetteh (1435)   ranked 108 out of 15,050 in internet11 months ago

I am wondering what RSS is and how does it works. I read about feeds and understand it has to do with RSS. But still do not know what it is. I am working on my blog, and see this RSS thing, but still can not figure it out. Anyone please explain this to me.

Thank you for responsehappy

RSS is Real Simple Syndication, which means it a new feed and you need a feed reader to read them. I use Bloglines as my reader.

Blogs have RSS feeds that you can subscribe to. Then each day you can scan the feeds you like and gain new info. Currently I have about 100 RSS feeds that I follow.

A great way to find those posts you want to comment on.

Oh, thank you so much. I am learning and learning, new things every day. It is fun learning new things. And I have not understod that until I recieved your comment.
I am glad for that.

how do you scan through 100 RSS feeds?
that will take you half a day?

Scanning through 100 RSS feeds isn't as hard as it sounds or take as much time as you might think.

I have my Bloglines news reader setup with folders for each niche I follow. From there I save the feeds I want to read into the correct folder. Then I only have to open each folder, I only have 7 folders.

Now not every blog I follow updates their blog daily and I can see which have new posts without even opening them. I can ignore those that don't so that cuts about half most days.

The I look through each folder where I can then click each one that has new posts. From that screen I can see the titles and the post, some of them are only snippets, but I can tell whether I want to read the rest and comment or not.

Also I don't monitor every niche I have every day, only when I want to add another comment linking back to my blogs.

I would say I take about an hour or two 5 days a week and that gives me lots of comments and links back to internal pages on my blogs.

Glad you asked. I have no idea. I guess I'll check out everyone else's answers.
