What is RSS?

January 21st, 2009 · 3 Comments · Market My Novel, Uncategorized

After my post about Feedburner changes that go into effect at the end of February, someone kindly reminded me that not everyone knows what RSS is – or how it works.

RSS is Really Simple Syndicate. It is like having your newspaper delivered by the paperboy each morning to your doorstep – except it is all electronic.

Here is an excellent page explaining RSS. It also includes a video that I use to explain RSS to clients. The video explains it better than anything I have seen. Check it out:

    Angela, you've done it again. I need to get going on this RSS thing and you gave me an easy way to start – thanks.

    LOL! RSS is so GREAT! I wish I had more time to read the items in my feed. I have so many… and keep adding on. I need to make a time where I sit with a cup of tea for 15 minutes and scroll through the listings.

    RSS is so easy once you use it. Getting people to use it in the first place is always 3/4 of the battle.

    Thanks for visiting!

    You and I have been on similar wavelengths lately! I don't know what I would do without RSS. It makes keeping up with the news so much easier!
