What is RSS? by Brian Magierski on Aug 18, 2006 - 11:19 PM read 2026 times Source: http://www.kalivo.com/convs/show/111 |

Technical jargon aside, RSS is a way for you to subscribe to content so that it is delivered to you directly. Just as you would subscribe to a magazine to receive it in your mailbox at home rather than going to the publisher's office to read every new article or issue, RSS enables Kalivo to deliver new conversations and comments from Kalivo's Community to your computer. Think of it as a way to populate your own personal magazine on your computer desktop every day. It is a great way to stay on top of web conversations across many blogs, hubs, communities, and forums. Sources can be as varied as individuals to Espn.com to the Washington Post.
Unfortunately the use of RSS is not as simple as it could be yet. In order to receive content from our site, you will need to do two things:
First, you need an RSS reader. Some options include: Bloglines, Microsoft Outlook, Newsgator, MyYahoo, Google Reader, Safari (for Macintosh users), Blogbridge, and a host of others. The RSS reader will enable you to receive new content and read the content on your computer desktop.
Second, once your RSS reader is set up, you will need to copy the relevant RSS link from the Kalivo website, and paste the link in your RSS Reader. RSS links are identified on Kalivo's website by this 
icon. Each RSS Reader has its own location for where you paste new RSS subscription links, so you'll have to refer to the documentation on your RSS Reader to know where to paste the link. Once that is set up, your RSS Reader will continually pull in new content from Kalivo.
For those that want a further understanding of the history and technical details about RSS, read this entry on Wikipedia. For another summary of RSS try this AP Business article.
