RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. Basically, it’s just a feed of information that people can subscribe to. By default, tf-Media creates an RSS feed for every post and every comment on your site. Meaning if someone puts a comment on your blog, they can add the feed to their feed reader and they’ll be notified on any activity on their comment.

The great thing about RSS feeds, is that now days email clients are including feed readers, so you can add your favorite RSS feed to your email client and your feeds come in just like email.

Basically, a feed just keeps you notified when a site changes, without you actually having to go to that site. If your a smart blogger, you don’t include the full article in your RSS feeds, you do just a title and a teaser. That way, interested readers have to go to your site to read the full article.

Some advertising programs are now allowing advertising within an RSS feed.

Also the other great advantage to a feed, is you can import stuff right into your site via an RSS Feed. tf-Media does that with all of our sites, feed the latest headlines right onto the site, free content.

RSS feeds are great! You’re definitely going to be seeing a lot of exciting stuff happening with RSS in the future.
