For those of you new to syndication, an intro to RSS is most appropriate. In short, RSS (or Real Simple Syndication) provides a quick and easy way to deliver content basically by itemizing the information and publishing only headlines and a short description for each title. It's not hard to imagine immediate applications of such concept: news websites. The rest is history. RSS revolutionized the way the information was delivered. From the early adopters such as BBC to the latest in the pack (yes I'm talking about the allmighty Google) , RSS is now used to deliver news, search results, email, weather, project updates, calendar notifications and actually every piece of information that may cross your mind. Of course, a common language needed to be chosen for RSS and the natural choice was the eXtensible Markup Language or XML. The grammar is simple (take a look at the Slashdot's RSS page but it's not meant to be read as-is by humans. to make you life easy you may choose to use an RSS newsreader. Such reader is no more than a piece of software that allows you to add RSS resources and "syndicate the syndicated headlines".
