RSS

=Feed Your Reader!= RSS stands for "real simple syndication," which is a fancy way of saying stuff is getting broadcasted. What kind of stuff? News, blogs, podcasts, vodcasts, and changes on dynamic web-based pages, like wikis. You can "read", "listen", or "view" any web-based media in your RSS reader. Check out the video from the folks at Common Craft to see what I'm talking about.
