I Learned Something New Today

It's always a good day to learn something new. Today I learned that I have an RSS feed for my Squidoo account. The RSS feed can be found here if you are interested. Actually I think that is kind of cool. What is a feed? According to Internet Explorer a feed, also known as RSS feed, XML feed, syndicated content, or web feed, is frequently updated content published by a website. It is usually used for news and blog websites, but can also be used for distributing other types of digital content, including pictures, audio, or video. Feeds can also be used to deliver audio content (usually in MP3 format) which you can listen to on your computer or MP3 player. This is referred to as podcasting. How do I view a feed? When you visit a webpage, the Feeds button will change color, letting you know that feeds are available. Click the Feeds button, and then click the feed you want to see. If the website offers Web Slices as well, you'll see the Web Slice button . To get content automatically, you should subscribe to a feed. Why should you subscribe to a feed? Well for me, there are some blogs that I would like to know when they get updated. Sometimes it's the daily coupon or just news or something I enjoy that puts a smile on my face. This looks like a way to make it easier to keep track of and get to the stuff I love. Hmm something to think about as I try to generate traffic. Now I just have to figure out how this can work to my advantage. Any thoughts?
