http://live.pirillo.com/ RSS - Really Simple Syndication - is probably something you've seen around the Internet lately, but you may not know what it is or what to do with it. So, what is RSS?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and it lets you syndicate website content without ever visiting the website. RSS allows you to bring the Internet to you in a similar way to how a newspaper can be delivered to your doorstep: your news aggregator will periodically check the RSS feed and alert you when there is new content.
With RSS you no longer have to constantly check a websites for updates. If you're a sports fan you can get your team news sent to you automatically, or if you love web comics you can be notified when a new comic has been put online.
RSS does have its limitations, however. Right now, RSS does not allow you to post comments on blogs or forums (so you'll need to visit the website to do that), and sometimes the content in an RSS feed is only a teaser (forcing you to visit the website if you want to learn more).
