Really Simple Syndication (RSS)

**BINNY** · 10-03-06, 08:05 AM

Hi ,

Guys , I think you know about this new technology RSS .....If not ,go on reading....

What is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) lets you automatically receive updated
content from your favorite Web sites. Using RSS, you won't have to go
to Web sites to see if they have new content; the new content will come
to you.

Bright orange RSS buttons appear on Web pages included in our RSS
feeds. The buttons link to this page where you can sign up for our
feeds below.

Available Feeds ( U can search in Google for more)

TITLE:	URL (copy & paste into an RSS Reader):
Discovery Channel News	http://dsc.discovery.com/news/news.rss
Animal Planet News	http://animal.discovery.com/news/news.rss
Travel Channel News	http://travel.discovery.com/news/news.rss
TLC News	http://tlc.discovery.com/news/news.rss

How do I use RSS?

If you don't have a Web site, you'll need a program called a News
Reader to view your RSS feeds. You can tell if a site offers an RSS
feed by a small button that says either RSS or XML. But if you click
one of the buttons, you'll probably get a page full of XML code in your
browser. News Readers interpret that code and display your chosen RSS
feeds properly on your computer. You simply copy the URL or XML code
associated with the RSS feed into your News Reader.

Where do I find a reader?

There are different News Readers available for different computer operating systems.
Here are a few that are popular for PCs:
Awasu, FeedDemon, and RSSReader. These offer free trials, as well as premium versions for a fee.

For Mac OS X, try: Newsfire or NetNewsWire.

These newsreaders plug in to applications already running on your PC. For instance, NewsGator works with Microsoft Outlook, feeding headlines into Inbox folders from subscribed channels. Pluck, on the other hand, works with Internet Explorer.

A few readers work through the Web, such as Bloglines

On Web pages, web feeds (RSS or Atom) are typically linked with the word "Subscribe" or an orange rectangle,

, or with the letters

or

(although this indicates specifically an RSS feed.)

This RSS is not a new technology. But it has come into picture once again with the introduction of RSS feed support into browser a a built in feature.

The best place to look for RSS to understand its importance is, open sites (eg: bbc news site) in firefox and you will see them in address bar using which you can bookmark them.

Rencently I have tried this and to my surpricingly it worked. Really it is a cool technology.

IE 7.0 also has the built in support to identify RSS feeds.

Thanks,
Krishna

Any one who are more interested in exploring this technology in realtime scenrios, try it with SQLX. You will have more reasons to appreciate RSS feeds and its importance...

You can download a Firefox Extension " Fizzle " for reading the RSS feeds . It is an excellent RSS reader ..plug in for FireFox

Hi Binny,

I have generated an RSS out of JSP page (the RSS feed contents are based on output of a query) and it is working fine. But, it is only 1 level nesting. I want it to be multi-level or simply, I want to have sub-menus in side an RSS.

Can you tell me how I can do it?

Thanks,
Krishna

**sk_kireeti** · 14-03-06, 07:24 AM

Binny,

Also can you tell me why do we need RSS readers when it is now a built in feature in firefox?

Thanks,
Krishna
