What is RSS and why do I need it? RSS stands for "really simple syndication," and, you guessed it, it's really simple. RSS enables the update-hungry Web community with a way to stay on top of information made available by their favorite websites. The benefit is that you spend less time visiting sites looking for content and more time benefiting from the information provided.

RSS works primarily with weblogs or blogs, but in some certain cases you can even retrieve feeds from sites that are not weblogs (as is the case with LinksBulletin). RSS-enabled sites provide "files" that describe recent updates to their site. To read these feeds, you need an RSS reader (sometimes called an "RSS aggregator"). Some popular examples are Bloglines and Pluck, but there are literally hundreds of available readers and aggregators that you can choose from. These services monitor changes and updates at your favorite sites and allow you to see at a glance (through their interface) whether you're interested in the whole article. You can typically visit right away, save to read later, delete it entirely or write some comments to keep track of what's important to you.

RSS-enabled sites usually have an orange button () to let you know that a feed is available. Each RSS reader has a different method of subscribing to individual feeds, but it is usually pretty straightforward and with a little luck (and a few minutes) you'll understand the ins and outs of each service very well - or at least well enough to use it efficiently.

If you are a member of LinksBulletin, consider using our RSS feeds to stay up to date on the most recent posts in your category of business. There's no need to visit the site everyday; at least not until you find a link partner that meets your specific requirements!
