Prefix - Why Syndicate? *Introduction to RSS newsfeeds* One new technology that has been rapidly catching up in the alleys of Internet independent researches, publishers and reporters of all kinds, is the highly interesting and potentially revolutionary RSS newsfeed. Nowadays, to "RSSify" a Web site, means to create an RSS feed so that other online publishers, Web sites, news aggregators such newsletters editors and custom search engines can tap into your content to syndicate and republish it. RSS feeds can be also used to deliver custom content to country
offices, to geographically dispersed working teams as well
as to staff and members of an organization in a private fashion. An RSS newsfeed basically provides a public information reference
point about your Web site's content being published. RSS feeds allow independent researchers to tap into a vast amount of personally selected information resources very efficiently and according to continuously optimizable preferences. You can aggregate all news items in selected categories and from selected independent sources in a few seconds and have an immediate snapshot of key stories and issues to be followed in any key area you are interested in.

1. Cybersportsblog.com's complete News and features RSS Feeds
A news feed (also known as an RSS feed) is a listing of a website's content - In our case, it's our sports news and lines. It is updated whenever new content is published to the site. News readers "subscribe" to news feeds, which means they download lists of stories at an interval that you specify (every 30 minutes, for example), and present them to you in your news reader. A news feed might contain a list of story headlines, a list of excerpts from the stories, or a list containing each story from the website All news feeds will have a link back to the website, so if you see a headline, excerpt, or sports line you like, you can click on the link for that piece of content and will be taken to the website to read it. How do I subscribe to Cybersportsblog.com's news feeds? Step one is to download your favorite news reader. If you have never used one before, try installing one of the news readers mentioned below and see which one you like. May we suggest MyYahoo.com, MyMSN.com, or Newsgator.com
A news reader (also known as a news aggregator) is simply a piece of software that you can use to read your subscribed news feeds. It is to news feeds what Outlook, Hotmail, Lotus Notes and Entourage are to email. 5. Should I use a news reader? The short answer: it depends. The longer answer: if you visit a lot of websites on daily basis, or read a lot of weblogs (or "blogs"), a news reader can save you a lot of time. Using a news reader to consume your web media means that you only need to visit a website when you read a story in your news reader that is of interest to you. You won't have to visit many sites multiple times every day to see if there are updates; your news reader will do that for you and will let you know when there is a new story to be read! So if you visit a lot of websites regularly, or want to be alerted automatically when your websites publishes a new story, using a news reader might make sense. Some commonly used news readers are Feed Demon, Sharp Reader, and NewsGator (an Outlook plugin) for Windows, NetNewsWire , Shrook for Macs, and Bloglines.com for those who like web-based readers. You can find even more news readers at itopik.com.
Depending on whom you ask, the acronym RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication", "Rich Site Summary", or any of a handful of others. The meaning of the acronym is not terribly important, however. An RSS feed (also known as a news feed) is a site's syndicated news feed that you subscribe to using your news reader. Syndication refers to the process that occurs when a publisher provides content in a form that can be consumed by software (like a news reader). The concept is similar to email: your Yankees-hating buddy Bob (the publisher) writes you an email about Derek Jeter's partying habits (the content). Your favorite email program (the software) receives the email, and probably alerts you with gentle "You've got mail!" With a syndicated Cybersportsblog.com feed, it works like this: WagerOnFootball.com (the publisher) publishes a story about Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens leading the Eagles to a superbowl XXXIX victory (the content). Your favorite news reader (the software) sees that Cybersportsblog.com has published a new story, and probably alerts you with a flashing icon on your screen. Where can I find more about syndication? There is a thorough explanation of syndication at Dynamic Objects
