Our mini AJAX RSS reader

What is RSS?

An XML format for easily sharing content among different Web sites such as news headlines. The acronym has been defined in three ways: Really Simple Syndication, RDF Site Summary, and Rich Site Summary.

Now that you know what RSS means - the technical jargon above, you might want to know, in plain English, what it can do for your business.

RSS lets your share your content with other websites easily and if you have a good content to share, it is one of the quickest ways to promote your business. If your content (or FEED) is interesting enough, people might add it to their website. You could also add an external feed to your website to share useful and interesting content with your website visitors.

RSS is also a great way of publishing, not only company news, but also New product/catalogue information, latest product offers, financial data, real estate listings, etc - your customers, might be happy to add this information to their Intranet/Extranet to keep up-to-date with your offers.

We at web design Berkshire, can help you publish your data/information as RSS XML or add RSS feeds to your website.
