Just about everywhere you look, you'll see stories about how RSS feeds are increasing in popularity. Just about any and every site that contains dynamic content has them now. OCC, Slashdot, my personal site, and even major news sites.

But RSS feeds aren't limited to just news sites, you can check your GMail account, find out what's new at Netflix, and even keep up to date on software releases.

Without looking, I think I'm subscribed to about 20 different feeds. How many are you subscribed to?

none!

I dont use one either

When I had samurize running about five or so. But I dont have samurize running at the time so I only get a couple on my xbox when its in the dash and not folding.

if you count podcasts... quite a lot...

10 Here

mucho zero

2 at work...zero at home....

none

I'm not subscribed to any either

none. used to have a few but didnt use them enough.

Wow Kev. Looks like you and I are the only ones really making use of RSS.

/. and that's about it

what's an RSS feed?

Can't figure out how to get it to work.

I'm not subscribed to any...unless the "gmail notifier" for Firefox counts, in which case I still fall into the "0-2" category

wtf is rss

looks like people arent so lazy i have 0 as well

0 i don't have the time.

Oh brother.

Really Simple Syndication (aka Rich Site Summary or RDF Site Summary). Basically allows a site's content to be delivered directly to you. i.e. Latest news, latest forum post, latest updates, etc.



Can't figure it out??

It's as simple as getting a program (or web page) that has the ability to read RSS feeds (Opera, Thunderbird, Firefox, etc.) and then pointing it to the URL for the feed.



Don't have the time? The idea behind RSS is to save you time. Rather than having to vist every website to see what is new, you open up the RSS feeds, see the headlines (and in some cases the entire article).
