RSS Feeds, made simple

I am not the most technical person on the planet, but I thought I would discuss RSS feeds, because they are very much revolutionizing the internet.

RSS Feeds (Really Simple Syndication)is a family of web formats used to publish frequently update content (such as blogs, etc). This can include full content to an article or just a quick summation to another website. For example, another author could subscribe to my blog using my feed and see a snippet of this article or more.
My feed to this blog is: http://marketmpb.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default?alt=rss

(that is my shameless plug to subscribe :) ) You may also click the white/orange box too.

The data format typically used now is "2.0", although there are a lot of other data formats out there and available.

Feeds are regularly checked for updated content. They are also a great way to drive traffic and get your site up in the big "search engines".

Here are some tips:
-subscribe to other blogs rss feeds that you have interest in
-make it easy for someone to subscribe to your rss feeds
-engage other experts in your field to drive traffic!

Enjoy your day,
