It is made up of a list of items presented in order from newest to oldest. RSS provides very basic information to do its notification. Producing an RSS feed is very simple and hundreds of thousands of Web sites now provide this feature, including major news organizations such as the New York Times, the BBC, and Reuters, as well as many weblogs. (RSS feeds and aggregators are also sometimes called RSS channels and RSS readers.)

Special computer programs called RSS aggregators have been developed that automatically access the RSS feeds of Web sites you care about on your behalf and organize the results for you. People who are interested in finding out the latest headlines or changes can check this list. This list of notifications is called an RSS feed. RSS works by having the Web site author maintain a list of notifications on their Web site in a standard way. Notifications of changes to multiple Web sites are handled easily, and the results are presented to you well organized and distinct from e-mail. RSS is a better way to be notified of new and changed content. Unfortunately, when you receive e-mail notifications from multiple Web sites they are usually disorganized and can get overwhelming, and are often mistaken for spam. Repeatedly checking each Web site to see if there is any new content can be very tedious.Į-mail notification of changes was an early solution to this problem. Examples of such Web sites are news sites, community and religious organization information pages, product information pages, medical Web sites, and weblog s. Most people are interested in many Web sites whose content changes on an unpredictable schedule.
