Each and everyone surfing the Internet see the letters, RSS somewhere constantly on any web page. Like this RSS, there may be letters as ATOM or a small orange square with white wave-like markings inside or small bars (Chicklets) are also seen . What are they? Do they have any function? Yes, they do have - if you know about them and use them! All of them are of similar nature. Taking RSS (Really Simple Syndication) as an example, it is a websites syndication (publication). Here, after finding out an interesting and useful blog or website, the web surfer informs (subscribes) about his/her wish for automatically intimating him/her, whenever there is a publication of a new post at that blog. (This updated posts are the 'Feeds' from the blog).
OK. How to read then the recent posts from the selected blog? For this RSS feed readers like Google Reader, Bloglines or Mozilla Reader are used. These provide the reading person with a window in which the titles of new posts from the favorite blog are seen brought in. You can click on any title in it and read the full post.
You know now about the RSS. How to use RSS? First sign up for an RSS reader; then click on the RSS or Chicklets found on the favorite blog.and subscribe in it. Next, log in to the RSS feed reader and read the recent posts from the blog! After clicking on more such favorite blogs, you can see all their recent posts in your RSS reader without visiting all those blogs!
For those using Mozilla Firefox browser: Mozilla Reader activation is quite easy: Simply click on the orange chicklet found on the address bar of the browser and subscribe to use Live Bookmarks. Then you can read recent blog posts from the browser itself! On the Menu bar click on Bookmarks --> Bookmarks Toolbar --> Blog's name in the list --> Blog posts titles --> select a title to read.
Having read all these and applying it in use you can save both your valuable time and money.
