blog syndication, but innovative
businesses are learning to use
RSS in different ways. Consider RSS as a communication channel
that can provide current, targeted information as it appears
within a very targeted audience.

service that offers the Web's most comprehensive archive of Usenet
postings. Google Groups can be monitored using RSS feeds. In order
to monitor a specific newsgroup simply add "/feed/msgs.xml" to the
end of the Google Group URL. Add the new URL to a newsgroup reader
and receive updates each time a new post is added to the
newsgroup.
Silverjet press releases are available free of charge through the Silverjet RSS news feed service. What is a news feed Our news feed delivers Silverjet news to you as and when we publish it without you having to come to the website. Feeds are also known as RSS (Really Simple Syndication). The feeds are simply web pages designed to be read by computers rather than people.
