Well, first thing’s first. Let’s explain what RSS Feed is. RSS stands for Rich Site Summary. It basically allows a user to keep updated on their favorite sites while not actually having to go to them unless they want to read the whole article or object.

Of course, RSS feed is not available for all sites, but why is the number of sites who are using the feed increasing so rapidly? Well, from an end-user’s point of view, RSS feed is a great tool to keep them (users) interested in a website. Without compromising security (like giving your e-mail out to a mailing list then being hit with spam) or any other true commitment, one can easily get the information they need from a site at the time it is available on the site (they know when this is by checking their feed).

Also, for users who subscribe to the RSS feed, it provides more “traffic security” for the website itself. From the owner’s point of view, it makes it more difficult for a user to simply “forget” your site and never return. When a user looks at their RSS feed and sees an interesting article, they will most likely click it and read the full article; thus returning traffic to your site.

Now that we understand the concept of RSS and its importance, if you enjoy the contents of this site, please subscribe to the Microsonic RSS Feed! It is the large orange RSS icon in the top right of the page. Or, if you’re using FireFox, click the RSS icon by the URL and hit “Subscribe to ‘RSS 2.0-all posts’”; your efforts are much appreciated!

This has been the last article in the series listed (oh maybe 5 posts ago?) so I’ll be starting on some new topics very soon! As usual, internet related and jam-packed full of useful information! Be sure to come back and check those out if you’re interested. Or better yet, subscribe to the feed here and just keep checking that and read the articles you find useful!
