Think about all of the information that you access on the Web on a day-to-day basis; news headlines, search results, “What’s New”, job vacancies, and so forth. A large amount of this content can be thought of as a list; although it probably isn’t in HTML elements, the information is list-oriented. Most people need to track a number of these lists, but it becomes difficult once there are more than a handful of sources. This is because they have to go to each page, load it, remember how it’s formatted, and find where they last left off in the list. RSS is an XML-based format that allows the syndication of lists of hyperlinks, along with other information, or metadata , that helps viewers decide whether they want to follow the link. This allows peoples’ computers to fetch and understand the information, so that all of the lists they’re interested in can be tracked and personalized for them.
