The orange RSS or
XML buttons that you see on certain web sites indicates that you can subscribe to an RSS feed.
An RSS feed brings a web sites' current information and headlines to your desktop, allowing you to visit the site for the complete "story" if the content interests you. You don't have to leave an email address, and at this point, the feeds are free.
Many people predict that RSS will become the next big thing on the Internet. Already, sites like CNN and BBC are offering RSS news feeds, plus you can find sites offering feeds on almost anything that interests you.
An RSS (meaning Really Simple Syndication) feed saves you time by removing the need to continually check with your favourite web sites. No need to bookmark. No need to risk your email address. No more figuring out how to unsubscribe from an email newsletter. Just run your RSS reader and check the RSS feeds. Ignore any items that don't interest you; click on the ones that do: delete any feeds that you no longer want to receive.
Nightcats Multimedia Productions' RRS feed brings news of new content on the web site, as well as news of when the Roundup Newsletter is published.
