RSS is the notification system of Web 2.0, it leverages what is good about XML and allows users to subscribe to internet content and monitor its changes. It allows people to follow content of interest to them and to be notified of its changes as specified by their own preferences. It allows you to receive notification of internet changes when you want to review the new or updated content. If you are interested in controlling the velocity of internet content this workshop will be of interest to you.
