November 29, 2007, Dallas, TX: RSS is Really Simple Syndication. It is basically a process of web content organization. This is usually used by those people who are in search of certain distinct topics like news articles ad contents and others. You can use RSS for easy search and need not spend time in searching lots of web pages. Data are created in XML format on RSS so it’s not possible for everyone to read them and only software designed to read RSS content called RSS readers or RSS aggregators can read them. RSS document is formally called ‘web feed’ can be full data or the summary of the web content of some specific or website. With RSS you can keep an automatic update of the web feeds from your favorite website.

RSS was first designed by Netscape who wanted XML format to be used in reading news articles, blogs and stories on internet. But they found it too complicated and cancelled the project. Userland developed a version of RSS and named it RSS v2. The original invention of RSS dates back to 1997 when Ramanathan V. Guha created RDF (resource description framework) which is similar to RSS and is used to operate metadata. Metadata is the real information behind the entire news article, reports, stories that publish on internet. The standard version of RSS was created by Netscape in 1999 called RSS 0.90 followed by its latest version 0.91 created by Netscape official Dan Libby. Userland also created RSS 0.91 at the same time but his version has few different features than the one of Netscape. Later RSS project was abandoned by Netscape. A private company O’Reily released RSS 1.0 version which was based on RDF format and its functions were same as of 0.9. Userland later developed RSS 2.0 and when Dave Winer the creator found that other companies are trying to copy and use the standard format in their own name so he handed over the RSS2.0 to non-commercial institution, to Berkman center for internet & society of Harvard Law School.
