Internet Explorer

Company / developer:
  Microsoft Corporation

Internet Explorer

Microsoft Internet Explorer is the world most used internet browser.
It provides improved navigation through tabbed browsing, web search right from the toolbar, advanced printing, easy discovery, reading and subscription to RSS feeds, and much more.

RSS content can be read using software called a "feed reader" or an "aggregator." The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds.

The initials "RSS" are used to refer to the following formats:

• Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)
• RDF Site Summary (RSS 1.0 and RSS 0.90)
• Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91)

RSS formats are specified using XML , a generic specification for the creation of data formats.

RSS Syntax

RSS defines an XML grammar (a set of HTML-like tags) for sharing news. Each RSS text file contains both static information about your site, plus dynamic information about your new stories, all surrounded by matching start and end tags.

Each story is defined by an tag, which contains a headline TITLE, URL, and DESCRIPTION. Here's an example:

...
...





http://www.example.com/xml/rss/

Defined in XML, the Rich Site Summary 

(RSS) format has
quietly become a dominant format for 

distributing headlines
on the Web.
Our list of links gives 

you the tools, tips and tutorials
you need to get
started using 

RSS. 0323


...

Each RSS channel can contain up to 15 items and is easily parsed using Perl or other open source software.

Once you've created and validated your RSS text file, register it at the various aggregators, and watch the hits roll in. Any site can now grab and display your feed regularly, driving traffic your way. Update your RSS file, and all the external sites that subscribe to your feed will be automatically updated.
