RSS Feeds Allow Users to Bypass Manual Clicking


Are you familiar with RSS feeds? RSS stands for Rich Site Summary, though many people think it means Really Simple Syndication since this is a better description of how it functions. RSS feeds aggregate updating content from several different chosen online sites, and display it in a unified format for end users. This might sound complicated, but it is actually fairly easy to understand, and simple to use.

To use an example, say you follow eight different webcomics online. The comics all update on different days, and at different times. You do not want to memorize their schedule or check every page every day, yet you do not want to miss an update. The easy solution to this is to put all the urls for these websites into a personal RSS feeds list for comics. Then, all you have to do is check the RSS feed and you will find out which sites have recently updated. It allows readers to bypass having to manually check every website they enjoy reading.

RSS feed lists are used by websites and individuals alike. Websites often use it to create news feeds. RSS news feeds are useful because they automatically display the most updated and recent information a website has. An RSS news feeds list is handy in this way because it redirects web traffic back into the website. If a news website directs people toward the most current news available, it keeps them engaged with site content, which drives web rankings and ad traffic alike.

There are many options for RSS news feeds list if you are interested in following one. Most major websites run one or more RSS feeds that users can access in order to see the latest information, with various levels of specificity. For example, a major newspaper might run a general RSS feed of all its content, but also a business RSS feed for business specific news. If at some point you find yourself following a large number of RSS news feeds lists, PCMag recommends organizing your feeds into folders, and getting rid of subscriptions that no longer update much, or update with information that is no longer relevant to you.
