What is RSS?

RSS stands for "really simple syndication" and allows visitors to subscribe to your content using a "feed reader".  Just recently all the major web browsers including Internet Explorer added feed readers to their browsers.

There are many advantages to incorporating RSS feeds into your website.  In fact RSS is in itself a very powerful and mostly undiscovered marketing channel.  It’s also an effective way to facilitate communications across your staff, customers and any other group of people you wish to connect with automatically.  Marketers have only scratched the surface of exploiting the applications of this technology.
