Feeds on web pages


Question Posted Sunday August 23 2009, 4:43 pm

On web pages you get to be asked about updating feeds or something like that.
What’s meant by feeds and what is the purpose?

Web feeds are basically the shortened version of a Web page that has been created for syndication. It's just a new way to keep yourself updated with the website.

For example, you subscribe to an RSS feed (Really Simple Syndication feed) of a blog. When the owner of that blog post a new blog post a new post, you will notice it through the feed.

It's a new way to send out or receive updates. Instead of noticing you through the email, you are noticed through the "feed."

Did I make any sense there? Sorry, it's kind of hard to explain this one :-)
