What is an RSS Feed?

Posted on July 3rd, 2008 in Misc by The SW Geek

I realize that since I have been asking my readers to subscribe to my RSS feed, that some of my less tech-savvy readers might not know what that means. A RSS feed, Really Simple Syndication, delivers blog entries, News Headlines and Podcast to an aggregator or RSS reader; in most case for free. For example, subscribers of The SolidWorks Geek RSS Feed receive in their reader the latest published post usually within a few minutes after it is published. This will keep you up to date on all your favorite blogs that you you have added to your own aggregator without having to visit the site itself.
