RSS (REALLY SIMPLE SYNDICATION)
All of us search the Internet for so many things every day. We visit some sites regularly. RSS tracks this
information and regularly sends you updates whenever those sites are updated. RSS Feeds are an easy
way to stay up to date with your favorite websites, such as blogs or online magazines. If a site offers an
RSS feed, you get notified whenever a post goes up. RSS is used to organize your favorite blogs, movies,
news, images, etc. in one window. Before RSS, the user had to visit each website and check for updates.
This led to spending a lot of time if no new updates found. With RSS (RSS feeds) you save time. It fetches
the updated web feed or newly published information from the website/blog directly to you. So, you do
not have to search for updated information again and again.
RSS is a collection of web feeds which could be headlines, music video, blog entries, etc. To enable RSS,
you must first subscribe to content from multiple sources, like YouTube and Blogs. RSS feed handles
these notifications easily in an organized manner. Web builders use feeds to segregate fresh content
from their websites and web surfers. RSS may also be referred to as RSS feed, RSS channel, RDF feed,
XML feed, Atom feed.
Starting RSS Feed
RSS feed is represented by a small orange symbol. If it is on a website, click on it and
subscribe to the relevant feed. This icon can be located at the extreme upper right-hand
side of the website or at the bottom of the website with other icons. You can also type
“/rss” in the address bar after the website name. Then click Subscribe to this feed on the page that
appears in your browser. At last, click the Subscribe button.

PODCASTING
The process of making digital recordings (audio or video) that are available for downloading is called
podcasting. It is a free service that allows users to download media files using Internet. These media
files that can be downloaded from the Internet are called podcasts. Podcasts allow you to share your
content with listeners from around the world. Podcasts are similar to radio shows but offer unique
advantages that make them appealing to audiences and content creators. The hosts of a podcast are
referred to as "podcasters."
