"The developer content you need is now where you need it, when you need it: on your desktop. That's the benefit of Sun's free, Developer Content Syndication Program, offering up-to-date headline feeds for such developer content as articles, latest downloads, tutorials, and code samples."
"RSS ("Really Simple Syndication") is a web content syndication format. RSS is becoming the standard format for syndicating news content over the web. As part of my recent contract with Sun Microsystems, I was tasked with the development of a JSP Tag Library to be used by anybody with a basic understanding of RSS, JavaServer Pages, and HTML. The taglib is mostly geared towards non-technical editors of web sites that use RSS for aggregating news content. My goal was to develop a JSP tag library that would simplify the use of RSS content (versions 0.91, 0.92 and 2.0) in web pages."

"RDF Site Summary (RSS) files, based on XML, provide an open method of syndicating and aggregating Web content. Using RSS files, you can create a data feed that supplies headlines, links, and article summaries from your Web site. These files describe a channel of information that can include a logo, a site link, an input box, and multiple "news items." Other sites can incorporate your information into their pages automatically. You can also use RSS feeds from other sites to provide your site with current news headlines. These techniques let you draw more visitors to your site and also provide them with up-to-date information."
"RSS (Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) began as a way to summarize major news web site articles into headlines and updates that other sites could use easily. While that original mission is still a major component of RSS use, RSS has exploded with the growth of blogs and other frequently updated items as a way to keep up with what's new."
"Most RSS feeds are sorted according to descending date order (newest on top); however, occasionally you'll encounter a feed that doesn't comply. Logically, you'll want to ensure it conforms to this logical ordering, and so you will need to account for it within your script. Or, perhaps you would for some reason rather read the posts in order of oldest first. Using Ruby's sort! method, making sure the feeds are sorted in ascending orderm is very simple:"
"By insisting on well-formed markup, XML simplifies the task of writing programs that work with the data. RSS makes website updates available in a form that’s easily processed by software. The RSS feed for Workbench at http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench/rss, published by one of this book’s authors, has two distinct audiences: humans reading the blog through their preferred RSS reader and computers that do something with this data, such as Technorati, which offers a searchable database of site updates, links between different blogs, and categorization. To see how Technorati uses that RSS feed, visit http://technorati.com/blogs/cadenhead.org/workbench."
"Publishing new site content over RSS and a similar format, Atom, has become one of the best ways to build readership on the Web. Thousands of people subscribe to RSS files, which are called feeds, using reader software such as Google Reader, Bloglines, and My Yahoo."
