What is RSS?
I hope that regular readers search your blog know very well what is RSS, and even more so, use this knowledge every day. However, if you believe statistics, which are always right and never lies, then in runet 70% of users still do not know what RSS.
It is difficult to provide.
But if you try, I can bring to the internal monitor is about this picture: those 70% of users go only to Yandex and corporate sites, while they do not know what a blog.
There is the option that these users often encounter icon RSS, but they were too lazy to reach catastrophic her arm and check that there is, for the icon is hidden.
Or they think it is just such прикольная vebdvanolnaya chip when no intelligible meaning, Besides from involvement in vebdvanol. Somehow ...
While there, the most likely option, in my opinion, the following: clicking for the sake of the RSS-icon and received in response to a screen of some obscure code that you lose yourself and lose interest in this icon. Am I right?
But ... enough to guess, since this post is dedicated to answering the question, what is RSS, therefore, it is the eyes of 70%. By the way, dear readers bude they will appear here, please do not hesitate to comment and tell why they still do not know about RSS and how they are now this knowledge has helped. I'm serious.
So, I could tell here that the acronym RSS stands for Rich Site Summary, RDF Site Summary, or even Really Simple Syndication, which I particularly like, as it translates roughly as "really simple syndication news, but I will not do, and turn right to the heart.
Essence: RSS - it's very convenient, simple and affordable system that allows to get news from blogs, sites and even very quickly and, most importantly, without going to these sites, blogs and search engines. This is a very time-saving. Previously, every time you went themselves to their favorite sites in search of new information, but now new information from these sites itself comes to you.
To read the collected news enough to have on hand a special program, so-called RSS-reader. Once put into it the addresses of these sites, and forget about the worries forever. All. Further work will be robots. Thousands and thousands of nano-robots will follow the updates on your favorite sites, and every time you exit the network will automatically update all your news stream. You need only to consume the information delivered. Convenient? - You bet.
To prodemonstriroat all, how handy it on YouTube in April 2007. was laid movie, visually explaining the appeal of RSS news aggregation. Here it is:
RSS in Plain English:
Better and clearer explanation is very difficult. This video was so successful, dohodchiv and clear, that was translated into many languages. For example, it is in Russian:
Furthermore, as really better think very hard, there were no direct borrowing ideas from the substitution of their copyrights. For example, roller, which is now on YouTube is not (see disgruntled comments of the author of the original movie), but he is on rutube:
I found still on YouTube, with comments of the author of the original:
Such a rewrite here.
Now to the main. What to read, that is to choose a RSS-reader? Then the set of options, I will tell only about what I use myself.
1. If you're happy user browser Maxthon, you do not have to worry about. This browser has a built-in RSS-reading room, which is activated in 3 clicks:

Incidentally, the RSS-icon has a website: Where you can download the standard RSS icon size 28h28 and 14x14 px, and 50 colorful icons size 12x12. In addition, Misha Kvakina, if someone does not know yet, continues its already well-known action " . 'The action is over, but you can admire the beautiful icons on the link.
And finally ... I shall never believe that you do not know what RSS, if you have ever used , Which is also an online RSS-reader.
