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, according to statistics, which is 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 deduce the internal monitor is about this picture: these 70% of users go only to Yandex and corporate sites, and they do not know what a blog.
Another option is that these users often encounter icon RSS, but they catastrophically lazy to reach her arm and see what's there, behind the icon, is hiding.
Or they think it's just so cool vebdvanolnaya chip, not carrying any intelligible sense, except my involvement 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 wonder, because this post is dedicated to answering the question, what is RSS, therefore, it is the eyes of 70%. By the way, that's enough any dear readers 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, that I particularly like, as it translates roughly as "really simple syndication news, but I will not do, and proceed directly to the point.
Essence: RSS - it's very convenient, simple and accessible system that allows to get news from blogs, websites and even very quickly and, most importantly, without going to these sites, blogs and search engines. This is a very time-saver. If before you yourself every time went 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 at hand a special program, the so-called RSS-reader. Once put into it the addresses of these sites, and forget about the worries forever. Everything. Further work will be robots. Thousands and thousands of nanobots will be watching for updates on your favorite sites, and each time you exit the network will automatically update all your news. You will only consume the delivered information. Convenient? - You bet.
To prodemonstriroat all, how handy it on YouTube in April 2007. was leaked video, 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:
Moreover, because really better think very hard, there were no direct borrowing ideas from the substitution of their copyrights. For example, roller, which is now already on YouTube is not (seen disgruntled comments in the original movie), but it is on rutube:
I've found yet on YouTube, with commentary by the original:
Then they rerayt.
Now to the main. What to read, that is how to choose the RSS-reader? There are many solutions, I will tell only what I use myself.
