RSS is commonly believed to stand for either “Rich Site Summary” or “Really Simple Syndication”.  Essentially this is a system by which we can get information sent to a personalized website called a reader. By opening our reader and clicking on a little orange square shaped symbol or the word newsfeed, xml etc. on a webpage (or by copying the address of certain webpages and adding them to our reader) we can get information from this source (usually on the same subject or category) sent to our reader (or aggregator as it is sometimes known). The information is usually sent in the form of a headline, without graphics which we can read easily, and then if we decide it is interesting we can open the link and access the rest of the article. We can send feeds from as many different sites that offer the service to our reader as we choose, meaning we are able to determine what type of news and information we will be exposed to. This system also enables us to access an enormous amount of information all on one webpage. RSS has been available since the late 1990’s but it is only just beginning to penetrate the mainstream consciousness of web users. Acording to Janice’s blog a recent survey found that only 11 per cent of blog readers used RSS and 66 per cent of people do not even know what they are.
