Read Your Favorite Web Site Update Via email With SendMeRSS

During the eWeek, I was invited to speak to 4 honor High-School classes about technology. I was a little bit disappointed when I talked about RSS, only 1 student knew what it is and how to use it. None of the teachers knew what RSS stand for. A quick research shows only less than 10% of Internet users use RSS. 

  RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication.” It’s a family of information formats used by popular web sites to distribute frequently updated content. These include news headlines, blog entries, weather updates, photos and podcasts for example. In fact, if you can find it on a web site, chances are you can get it over RSS. It’s a great way to get fresh content whenever it’s updated. If you are still confuse. Watch this Video.

Traditionally, users would need a RSS reader or a online RSS reader to read the feeds, But I just found this free online service called SendMeRSS, which problably the simplest way to start with RSS.

SendMeRSS will check your subscribed feeds regularly for new content and mail you any updates that it finds.

SendMeRSS makes reading these feeds fast and easy. You can subscribe to your favorites by entering the content’s link into their site (for SolSie.com feed, you can use http://solsie.com/feed, we actually have a Widget located on the right sidebar for your convenience). Or, if you see the familiar RSS icon on your favorite web site, you can click to initiate the subscription process.
