"Really Simple Syndication" is a means of subscribing to websites
What do I mean?
Well, let's have a look at two different ways that we can surf the net!
This is what people usually do
When they want to check out a web page, they type the address into the browser
or they click it in their bookmarks.
They wait to see if there have been any updates.
This is inefficient, and it's like travelling across a city
to get a single magazine, when you really want to read several
It's a lot of work each time and you might miss something
if you leave a website for a while.
If you're lucky, there will be an update and you can read it.
But usually, you go to all that trouble and there's nothing new!
If you keep doing this, you'll waste a lot of time and that's just annoying!
This is why RSS can be so useful!
Do you recognize this symbol?
It is seen in many shapes and sizes and is on almost every web site.
You may have seen it without paying much attention to it.
When you put an RSS feed in an RSS erader, all updates
from each site can be read in a single place.
There are a lot of RSS readers available, and you might already have one in your browser
or e-mail program!
Let me give you an example of how convenient RSS can be!
Let's say that I spend time on the following sites every day:
facebook - to see my friends' status updates
an interesting blog, a news site
and searches in Craigslist and in Google
If I went to each site individually, there might be nothing new there
But there is an RSS feed for each of those pages.
So, I'll put them into my favourite RSS reader; Google Reader
Now, I have all of my updates in just a single place!
I won't waste much time and every update is stored until it's read
RSS is on so many pages and it's a much better way to surf the net

Good luck!
