RSS Vs. 50 Cent!

It is a scientific fact that Hip Hop does worse that what Methamphetamine does to your brain. There are three groups of people. Those who got their facts right, those who listen to Hip Hop and those who are on meth! I know I belong to the first group. In worse scenario, I’d rather be in the third group. There are, of course, extremely rare occasions where a person is both high on meth and listens to Hip Hop. But most of the time, Hippity Hoppers are drunk on crystal “‘n’ shit!” Sheeeat!

Whichever group you belong to, here is a chance for you to learn something about RSS feeds ‘n’ shit! RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication.” They allow you to see when a website has been updated. You can get the latest updates, as soon as its published, without having to visit the websites itself.

What’s the point of having feeds? It’s simple. RSS feeds keep you updated. You don’t have to check your bookmarks all the time to see whether they’re updated or not. This means you don’t have to waste your bandwidth. Just add their feed to your RSS reder and you’ll know when there is an update.

Why so many? It’s a dumb question, really. So here’s a dumb answer: Because! Easier way to describe the answer is the following example: I am registered to BBC World News, BBC Technology News, BBC Entertainment News and BBC Video Headlines. I have no interest in categories such as Wales or Education!
