The crowd is enthusiastic as they wait for the keynote speaker to take the stage. Many have been waiting all year for this event and the crowd goes wild as Ricky Sam Saboro makes his way to the stage.
“Good evening,” he begins, and then waits for the crowd to settle. “Tonight we refuse to look to the future because the future is now.”
Again the crowd erupts in applause and a standing ovation.
“Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Please take your seats. Many of you are pleased with the autodiscovery made possible by spiderbots while channels are syndicated finding validation to distribute the headline element. Perhaps the most exciting part of this paradigm is that the publisher accepts the subscriber who has a reader for successful syndication. All of this works conjunctively with text, audio and video. Long live RSS.”
At that point the assembly of Grand Techno-Geeks roar their approval and rush the stage for autographs.
If you’re like most people probably none of this made any sense, but for those that have a full understanding of Real Simple Syndication (RSS) they understand that a complex series of events need to work together for the electronic syndication of data.
Newspapers use RSS to alert their readers of breaking news. Sites with recipes syndicate their latest culinary creation. Online broadcasters syndicate podcasts and your favorite writer may syndicate a column.
The use of RSS has made it possible for consumers to access information they want in ways that were unheard of just a few years ago. Access to information has never been more dominate. The use of RSS has linked information and entertainment oriented consumers with willing suppliers of that information.
In most cases the ability to supply RSS has been simplified for both the end user and the syndication supplier.
The end user needs to locate an RSS Reader. On a positive note many are free and some are standard equipment with some web browsers.
When you sign up for an RSS Feed you are still left with choices. For instance most RSS feeds will include a basic headline of the information you are receiving via RSS. That headline should provide enough information to know if you are interested in investigating further or moving on to something else.
For the content owner RSS provides value because individuals can be alerted quickly and without the need to do anything more strenuous than post the syndicated material for online consumption. The RSS feed does the rest.
