What is RSS? Wakooz definition

Posted by JS on August 25, 2009
RSS / 3 Comments

In 2008, based on GOOGLE zeitgeist2008, the 5th most common search beginning by “What is…” was “What is RSS”.

This is very surprising knowing that almost every sites and every bloggers have their own RSS feeds. Surprising also due to the fact that RSS exists since nearly 10 years

Based on that, here is a brief summary of what is RSS:
1- RSS stands for Real-time Simple Syndication .
2- RSS can be read in a widget (small frame) located on a RSS feed reader (aggregator). There are 2 kinds of aggregator: web-based (Wakooz, Netvibes, IGoogle, etc.) or download software (Rawdog, Feedonfeeds, Myheadlines, etc.)
3- RSS can be :
- News feeds: Last news coming from your favorites newspaper or webzines.
- Blog articles: up-to-date articles from your favorite blogs. Like the RSS news feeds, blog articles feeds can be shown with the title and a brief description of each article. Some time, an image can be shown.
- Multimedia Gadgets: Youtube, Flickr , etc.
- Flash gadgets: Games, time, meteo, etc.
- SocialMedia gadgets: Twitter, Facebook, Plurk, Hi5, MySpace, etc.
- Other gadgets: Currency converters,

So basically, you can put whatever you are using/reading on one single page. For example, an internet user interested in BasketBall could put on his RSS feed Reader, the following basketball feeds: BostonHerald, Daily News, ESPN NBA, LA Times, FOXSports.
Moreover, if the same person is using Facebook, Hotmail and Youtube, he can add the associated widgets.
On Wakooz, the page could look like this:

3 best definitions of What is RSS?

3 best definitions of  What is RSS?

1-      Definition by Mark Pilgrim

RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, including major news sites like Wired, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs. But it’s not just for news. Pretty much anything that can be broken down into discrete items can be syndicated via RSS: the “recent changes” page of a wiki, a changelog of CVS checkins, even the revision history of a book. Once information about each item is in RSS format, an RSS-aware program can check the feed for changes and react to the changes in an appropriate way.

RSS-aware programs called news aggregators are popular in the weblogging community. Many weblogs make content available in RSS. A news aggregator can help you keep up with all your favorite weblogs by checking their RSS feeds and displaying new items from each of them.

2-      Definition by Paul Gil

If you are an “Information Junkie”, then RSS is perfect for you.

RSS is about getting live web feeds directly to your computer. RSS takes the latest headlines from different web sites, and pushes those headlines down to your computer for quick scanning.

The acronym RSS stands for many versions of the same thing.

  • Really Simple Syndication
  • Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91)
  • RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9 and 1.0)
  • Real-time Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)

In each of the above meanings, the purpose is the same: to have web sites of your choice deliver their latest news directly to your monitor. So instead of having to visit 14 different places to get your weather, sports, favorite photos, latest gossip, or latest political debates, you just go to one screen and see it combined (”aggregated”) into a single window.

The RSS headlines and stories are effectively immediate. Once published at the source server, RSS headlines take only moments to get to your screen.

3-      Definition by Leelefever

RSS makes it possible for you to use a single tool to easily read news and posts from weblogs and news sites across the web. The news comes to you without using email. Here is how you can get started:


On a majority of weblogs and some online community discussions and news sites, you’ll see links and buttons like these:

syn

xml
or:

If you’re like me, you clicked these buttons, only to be more confused by what you saw. This entry will help you understand how to use these links and an “RSS” reader to read the news and why it’s something that could affect your day-to-day news reading and browsing.

From now on, I’ll refer to the tools and processes as “RSS” (which means “Really Simple Syndication” or “Rich Site Summary” depending upon who you ask) It’s not important to know anything but the terminology for now.

Think about weblogs like individual news sources that create headlines and RSS as a way to read the news more easily. Something called a RSS newsreader or aggregator allows you keep up with these headlines more efficiently. It can be a replacement for visiting sites individually or subscribing to email newsletters. Using RSS, the news comes to you. It allows you to use a single tool to read news on the sites you choose.
