RSS in the News

When RSS feeds were implemented by Netscape back in the ‘90s nobody knew how popular they would become and what they would mean to Internet users worldwide. Today, RSS feeds have become important to websites to help keep them ranked high in the search engines not to mention to users who like to keep track of their favorite news. As a result, RSS is gaining speed and becoming more popular every day. Because of this, there are new features added every day and soon so many features you have never even imagined will be available that you will wonder how you lived without them! Below are some of the RSS features in the news that you might find interesting.

RSS now has filters and this is making everyone’s day because now people can sift, sort, and choose the types of feeds that make it to them. This eliminates the information overload that frequently occurs because of RSS feeds that have no limits on them and keeps people from having to delete endless folders of RSS feeds they don’t want. RSS filters save time for users and eliminates information users don’t want. RSS filters really are a lifesaver.

Another feature of RSS feeds is that now if you have a Word Press blog then you can choose to see the amount of comments that individuals have posted to specific headline feeds that you receive.

Yet another feature is the ability to see all of the tags that have been posted to a headline, the people who are linking to the different headlines, among others. In the not so distant future it is very likely that you will even be able to receive notification of updates to your favorite feeds via IM. What other features will be added? Who knows, but the best is yet to come!
