RSS feeds

I was a little confused to what an RSS feed was, so I decided to do a little research. I went to Wikipedia and found that it is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. Communicating on the web is a fast and easy way to stay in contact with friends and family. I like being able to share and post photos. They are also very beneficial for readers to subscribe to updates and can be used from any internet based computer. Ready for a fun fact? The first version of RSS was created by Guha at Netscape in March of 1999.
