RSS is a new method of presenting dynamic pages with changing content. Newsletters sent via email are rapidly becoming a poor method of communicating, due to the proliferation of spam and really bad spam filters. Many newsletters do not even get to the person who requested it or ends up in a spam folder unread. RSS is a better way to communicate because it can be viewed as:
- a web page on a site, the same way you're reading this one.
- a dynamic window on another site. A site can include the link to another site's RSS page and have it pulled up as a window within their own page.
- a window directly on a PC. An individual can load an RSS reader, tell it which sites to monitor and have their RSS feeds come up in a window whenever they change.
RSS has at least two advantages ove email. 1) It is completely annonymous. You can read an RSS feed without ever revealling your email ID even to the site creating the feed. 2) It does not go through email. It can not be stopped by spam filters. It will not wind up in a spam folder you don't read. It can not be used to spam you.
You can monitor this feed for changes by either adding this page to your favorites and checking it about once a week or by adding our RSS feed to one of the free readers you can download. Allow the reader to monitor
