What is RSS and How to Use It

rss news on globe

RSS is one of the latest technologies that allows web users to get news and information in a faster, more convenient way than signing up for emailed newsletters or visiting bookmarked pages for updates.
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" and you may also hear it called "Rich Site Summary". The name is not important; the point is that this technology allows us to use our time more efficiently.

Before the advent of RSS, if you wanted to get the latest updates and news from ten different websites, you had to visit them one by one or subscribe to their email newsletters. That lead to problems like having to sort through a lot of junk mail and risking losing your newsletters to the spam filters.

With RSS, you can get all your news in the form of headlines in the same place, at the same time via your web browser or a newsreader program, instead of via email.

Please note that not all sites are equipped with RSS service but we at Short-Hair-Style.com now offer you the convenience of RSS.

What is an RSS Newsreader?

An RSS newsreader installed on your computer is all you need to get started. There are various RSS readers out there with different functionality. Once you have downloaded the one you like best, you are on your way to accessing your information whenever you want it.

Free newsreaders:

For windows users: www.rssreader.com/
For mac users: ranchero.com/netnewswire/

As an option, you can avoid installing any software on your computer by using Yahoo or MSN to deliver the Short-Hair-Style News RSS feed in a web-based application that's easy to set up:

Add Short-Hair-Style News to MyMSN


Add Short-Hair-Style News to MyYahoo

RSS Will Continue to Evolve and Improve

RSS is still a young technology and there are many exciting new advances on the way. The bottom line is that with the help of an RSS reader, you have complete choice over which feeds you are subscribed to. You can add, remove and organize the information you want in the blink of an eye.
