- 9. “Why a Feed?” (1) “Automated Web surfing” “In a nutshell, a Webfeed is a way for online venues to continuously ‘feed’ you announcements of their latest content, with links to each new content item.”
- 10. “Why a Feed?” (2) “RSS feeds provide a way to deliver content to the user, rather than the user having to go out and find the content via traditional Web methods, such as search engines and Web directories.” “Web feeds can significantly reduce the need to individually re-visit sites of interest for changes or additions.”
- 12. RSS (1) ‘RSS’ is an umbrella term for a variety of XML files which enable the sharing of Web site content. It can be understood as “a Web syndication protocol that is primarily used by news Websites and Weblogs.
- 13. RSS (2) RSS allows a Web developer to publish content on their Website in a format that a computer program can easily understand and digest.” “RSS simply repackages the content as a list of data items, such as the date of a news story, a summary of the story and a link to it.
- 14. RSS (3) A program known as an RSS aggregator or feed reader can then check RSS-enabled Web pages for the user, and display any updated articles that it finds.” http://www.llrx.com/features/richsite.htm
- 15. RSS (4) ‘Rich Site Summary’ ‘Really Simple Syndication’ ‘RDF Site Summary’
- 16. RSS (5) There are several flavors of RSS …
- 17. RSS (6) Earliest RSS versions (.91, .92, .93, .94) and a later RSS version (2.0) were developed by UserLand (http://www.userland.com/) RSS version 1.0 was developed by the RSS- DEV Working Group ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ rss-dev/).
- 22. Atom “Atom is a Web standard similar to RSS. It was created to solve the problem of confusion created by having parallel standards for RSS (e.g, Really Simple Syndication and RDF Site Summary) and create a new more flexible Web syndication format and API.” Atom is an alternative XML Web feed format promoted by Blogger.com for its blogging service. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_%28standard%29
