What in the heck is RSS?? Real Simple Syndication Rich Site SummaryRSS lets publishers use XML code to define the content of their Web sites, much the way HTML lets them determine the format in which content is displayed .htm = .rss Graphic used to indicate RSS files
RSS Advantages • visitors can access multiple sites without having to go to each one • subscribe to the RSS feeds of sites you like and the content comes to you • use a news aggregator to read the headlines and links in one place • do not need to give out your email address to web sites to receive updates • will need a aggregator to read content Jardin, Xeni. “Why RSS is Everywhere.” Wired. April 2004.19 May 2004 http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.04/start.html?pg=7.

Useful features… • Track recent changes (RSS feeds can be incorporated so users can be notified immediately) • History of page revisions (With some wiki apps, you can revert back to a previous version of the wiki) • Accessibility of documents and information through a web-based browser login(can be password-protected)
