Due to the growing popularity of Blogs, RSS has begun to come into place as a new form of information distribution. The greatest advantage of RSS is that it can effectively reach not only existing customers, but potential customers as well. If you use this service you will be able to implement automatic RSS distribution on your pre-existing website.
What's RSS?
RSS can refer to: RDF Site Summary, Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication; it is a kind of web feed format. There are several different versions of RSS with different specifications that are widely used, which is why there are multiple names for RSS.
What the different types of RSS have in common is that they describe summaries of updated website information in XML format. Because the data is in XML format, it is very flexible and interoperable. The format doesn't rely upon any particular Operating System or Platform.
The Advantages of RSS
A specialized RSS browser (the RSS Aggregator) regularly checks the RSS content for updates, making possible a form of information distribution where data is pushed rather than pulled to the user. For the user this means that once a RSS is registered to an aggregator it will check the RSS content for updates without missing any. For the site providing the RSS this will also make the site more user- friendly.
Lately many RSS aggregators and other similar online services have been popping up. This makes them for receiver of information (the user) possibly the most popular information distribution or communication tool after email applications and web browsers. This also means that from the point of view of the transmitter of information RSS looks to become an extremely useful marketing tool.
The Characteristics of RSS Production Service
Recently instances of entire websites developed with CMS (Contents Management Systems) similar to Blog tools have appeared. While for some of these sites RSS data distribution was made possible using a CMS tool function, the majority of these sites are mostly made up of static pages.
This service develops a program and sets up the server so that it is possible to automatically generate RSS from these static pages as well. In this case it will be necessary to make some alterations to the actual page and to the HTML source as well, but it won't have any negative influence on the visual quality of the site. In addition, as long as there is an environment to execute the program in, we can provide service for any server's environment.
As stated above there are several different versions of RSS. The principal versions are RSS 0.91, RSS 1.0, and RSS 2.0. Recently a version called Atom with similar specifications to RSS has come into use. Mitsue-Links can provide service for any of the above versions. Take note that in Japan there are reports that RSS 1.0 is the most widespread.
