What Is RSS?

Have you been seeing orange RSS or XML buttons more and more, but not knowing what they were?

It's "the next big thing" -- you can use it to get newsfeeds from CNN or BBC, as well as just about anything else, including news on upcoming movies, DVD releases, your favorite band's tour updates, etc.

Once you get started, it's like having your favorite parts of the Web come to you. No need to go out and check for updates all the time.

No more bookmarks for me, for you or for her/him!

"RSS" means "Really Simple Syndication." But it's just a fancy way of saying that you can keep up with all the updates to Ipoh - Malaysia Vacation Guide without having to check the site every week to see "what's new." Whenever I put up a new page or update an old one, I release it through RSS.

Yes, RSS is amazing. If you can't tell, I'm completely addicted to it. No e-mail. No spam. It's so easy to subscribe and unsubscribe. If you get tired of me T_T, you just have to delete the feed. It's awesome!

And once you start, you'll soon be tracking all your other favourite interests and news in the world.
