I have never paying attention to RSS, I know today, I really say it.
Recently, I saw a reader to leave a message in a national plan website, I hope that the station will build the RSS function soon, so that he can learn the latest information from his own computer through the RSS reading system, not to three Go to the site in less than five times to see if there is new content? This message indicates that "Taiwan's network readers have emerged for RSS!" The demand will be more and more powerful, and the organizer should be in the trend, and from good fortune, it provides RSS function as soon as possible.
What is RSS? It is the abbreviation of "Rich Site Summary", which can be said to have a website abstract, and some people say that it is "Really Simple Syndication", Syndication is derived from the concept of news media, which is the meaning of the data supply station, which is like a relationship. The news release service for the community, Central News, the major newspapers will order them, and they are used as needed. RSS is a supply service for website content with very simple format and methods.
The concept and technology of RSS, in 1999, but in 2003, it was widely used, and some experts thought that RSS was a killer application. Its popularity is related to the rapid development of Blog, because the RSS mechanism can take the initiative to pass the latest themes written to the reader's computer.
Usually, the blog author of the same topic, will form a community, interworking, and discuss the latest topics via blog, so you need to go to each blog, see if there is no latest progress, sometimes because of it Home, there is a regret of the pearl. However, due to the assistance of the RSS mechanism, readers will not be afraid of leaks important information. It is estimated that the world's current BLOG has exceeded one million, and the need for RSS promotes information exchange. So I often regard Blog and RSS as a native brother, there must be two, the two are coexisting.
RSS can be seen as the second generation of emails, since the email mail service suffers from garbage letters, viruses, and then more fierce, everyone can say that it is love and fear, before the update content of many websites, Most of the email notifies the reader to take the initiative to take the way to pay attention, currently, there are many big websites to provide "RSS File", and readers subscribe through the RSS mechanism.
Describe the working principle of the RSS mechanism. "RSS File" is an electronic file written in an XML format, which contains the latest content of the website, such as title, summary or content, etc. The content assembly will be timed to different content providers, and the readers choose to select and subscribe to the RSS file by the content assembly. When the reader selects the subject item you want to search and filter, you can check the information sent by the content assembly at any time, most of which is the title of the latest article, when readers browse When you are interested, you will be read through the content provider's website.
The currently available content assembler is divided into two categories. One type is to receive information through the reader's computer, such as FeedReader (www.feedreader.com, free), Newsgator and FeedDemon will be charged; the other is the page Browse, such as bloglines (www.bloglines.com, free), interested readers may wish to try.
At present, most of the RSS is in text information, and the receiving end is a personal computer device. Technical experts predict future RSS may send voice or video files, and even multimedia files, or directly transfer files to mobile devices such as PDA, mobile phones, because RSS has several different standards, although there are users, the future is still RSS 2.0 is most optimistic. RSS is also very easy to use in the enterprise. For the practical community in the enterprise, the biggest goal is to keep pace with the times, keeping new information at any time, don't fall. If there is a special person, you can collect the latest professional information in the outside environment, which is helpful to everyone, but everyone's work burden is very heavy, even if the person is responsible, it can only be part-time job, if the person in charge It can be easily accumulated by the RSS mechanism to collect, and classify, after picking up, the colleagues in the community are transferred!
In addition, for the intentional community, we want to establish a professional status, through Blog and RSS assistance, you can quickly spread professional insights and experience, as long as you hold it, you will build professional brands and image. !
