10 RSS
10.1 What is RSS
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) enables users to retrieve certain web content using XML format. RSS does not contain formatting, fonts, colors and layout, just pure content (text).
RSS clients manage RSS content and present it to user in a user-configurable way. Advantage of RSS is that users don’t need to visit the page to see changes. Instead, RSS client will automatically collect the new data from the page and present it to the user.
At the moment, these formats are supported for the feed: • RSS 2.0 • RDF 1.0 • RSS 0.92
10.2 Who can use RSS?
RSS can use all users that have RSS client. Some of recommended RSS clients are:
• RSS Bandit (Windows) - http://www.rssbandit.org/ • SharpReader (Windows) - http://www.sharpreader.net/ • Mozilla Thunderbird (Win, Linux, Mac...) - http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/ • Opera (Win, Linux, Mac,...) - http://www.opera.com/download/ • Mozilla Firefox (Win, Linux, Mac,...) - http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
Most of RSS clients support logging into system, so users can retrieve public or private feeds from the system.
