A Guide to RSS Aggregators
by: Terry Leslie




One of the most popular features of Internet portals, websites, pages and even emails is a frame that features an organized list of news headlines and periodic updates from other web sources. Really Simple Syndication, formerly “Rich Site Summary” or simply, RSS makes this possible.

Most users visit a lot of websites whose content continually change, such as news sites, community organization or professional association information pages, medical websites, product support pages, and blogs. As Internet surfing became an intrinsic part of business and leisure, it became important to get rid of the very tedious task of repeatedly returning to each website to see updated content.

RSS easily distributes information from different websites to a wider number of Internet users. RSS aggregators are programs that use RSS to source these updates, and then organize those lists of headlines, content and notices for easy reading. It allows computers to automatically retrieve and read the content that users want, then track changes and personalize lists of headlines that interests them.



The specially made computer programs called “RSS aggregators” were created to automatically find and retrieve the RSS feeds of pre-selected internet sites on behalf of the user and organize the results accordingly. (RSS feeds and aggregators are also sometimes referred to as "RSS Channels" and "RSS Readers".)

The RSS aggregator is like a web browser for RSS content. HTML presents information directly to users, and RSS automatically lets computers communicate with one another. While users use browsers to surf the web then load and view each page of interest, RSS aggregators keeps track of changes to many websites. The titles or descriptions are links themselves and can be used to load the web page the user wants.

RSS starts with an original Web site that has content made available by the administrator. The website creates an RSS document and registers this content with an RSS publisher that will allow other websites to syndicate the documents. The Web site also produces an RSS feed, or channel, which is available together with all other resources or documents on the particular Web server. The website will register the feed as an RSS document, with a listed directory of appropriate RSS publishers.

An RSS feed is composed of website content listed from newest to oldest. Each item usually consists of a simple title describing the item along with a more complete description and a link to a web page with the actual content being described. In some instances, the short description or title line is the all the updated information that a user wants to read (for example, final games scores in sports, weblogs post, or stock updates). Therefore, it is not even necessary to have a web page associated with the content or update items listed -- sometimes all the needed information that users need would be in the titles and short summaries themselves.

The RSS content is located in a single file on a webpage in a manner not very different from typical web pages. The difference is that the information is written in the XML computer code for use by an RSS aggregator and not by a web user like a normal HTML page.

There are 2 main parts that are involved in RSS syndication, namely: the source end and the client end.

The client end of RSS publishing makes up part of the system that gathers and uses the RSS feed. For example, Mozilla FireFox browser is typically at the client end of the RSS transaction. A user’s desktop RSS aggregator program also belongs to the client end.

Once the URL of an RSS feed is known, a user can give that address to an RSS aggregator program and have the aggregator monitor the RSS feed for changes. Numerous RSS aggregators are already preconfigured with a ready list of RSS feed URLs for popular news or information websites that a user can simply choose from.

There are many RSS aggregators that can be used by all Internet users. Some can be accessed through the Internet, some are already incorporated into email applications, and others run as a standalone program inside the personal computer.

RSS feeds have evolved into many uses. Some uses gaining popularity are:

•For online store or retail establishments: Notification of new product arrivals
•For organization or association newsletters: title listings and notification of new issues, including email newsletters
•Weather Updates and other alerts of changing geographic conditions
•Database management: Notification of new items added, or new registered members to a club or interest group.

The uses of feeds will continue to grow, because RSS aggregators make access to any information that individual users like more convenient and fun.

Assalamu Alaikum Wr Wb.
Aku berkunjung ke blog kamu untuk berbagi, semoga informasi yang saya bawa bermanfaat,Saya mau berbagi ilmu cara mendapatkan dana

Secara ringkas saya mencoba jelaskan. Program ini bernama INVESTASI MANDIRI. Bagi siapa saja yang saat ini membutuhkan bantuan dana untuk keperluan yang
positif seperti :
1. Investasi membuka/mengembangkan usaha
2. Melunasi hutang
3. Biaya sekolah atau kuliah (Beasiswa), dalam
dan luar negeri
4. Biaya riset ilmiah
5. Kegiatan sosial, termasuk LSM
6. dan sebagainya.

Bisa mengikuti program ini. Dalam program ini tersedia dana dengan jumlah tak terbatas yang berasal dari ribuan sumber sehingga memungkinan bagi siapa saja untuk
mendaftar dan berpeluang mendapatkan dana hibah, tanpa syarat!.

Program ini merupakan program yang mengutamakan kebersamaan, dengan prinsip dari kita, oleh kita dan untuk kita, bersifat terbuka dan tidak ada pihak yang secara
langsung bisa mengontrol ataupun bertanggung jawab terhadap sistem secara keseluruhan.

Peran kontrol dan tanggung jawab dipegang sepenuhnya oleh seluruh member yang telah mendaftar dan aktif.

Program ini adalah independen, tidak ada hubungannya sama sekali dengan pemerintah, pihak Bank Mandiri maupun badan hukum lainnya ataupun lembaga sosial/perseorangan. Namun secara keseluruhan program ini menggunakan fasilitas Bank Mandiri sebagai media transaksi finansialnya.

Program ini adalah unik, karena pendiri/founder program justru tidak mendapatkan keuntungan apapun, sehingga sistem ini tidak bisa ditiru. Program Investasi Mandiri diciptakan semata-mata dengan niat ikhlas untuk membantu sesama.

Konsep dasar dari program ini adalah bagaimana caranya supaya setiap orang, baik yang kuat secara finansial maupun yang lemah kemampuan finansialnya bisa
memperoleh fasilitas pendanaan tak terbatas, tanpa syarat, tanpa bunga, dan tanpa perlu mengembalikan,
namun dengan investasi yang sangat minim.

Dengan harapan, Program ini bisa/mampu memberdayakan masyarakat ekonomi lemah dan sektor industri menengah ke bawah agar terbebas dari masalah
permodalan yang selama ini menjadi kendala mereka.
