HitRSS: Frequently Asked Questions

What's RSS?

RSS (meaning "Really Simple Syndication") is a new way of spreading news. Technically it's a special XML file containing information that people can read using applications like RSS Readers and more recently web browsers and email clients!

Why do I need an RSS Channel?

Your RSS Channel is like a news broadcast service. When people subscribe to your RSS Channel, your information goes directly to them - it's like magic - your information appears on your readers' computer screens!

Can I have my own RSS Channel?

I'm a publisher of an email newsletter, do I still need RSS?

Just think about all these email filters, Spam blockers, Trojan horses, etc... It's really hard to pass them by and to get your email message delivered... even in an opt-in newsletter. For RSS all these don't matter, as your RSS Feed hits your readers' screen directly - and you can never be accused of spamming as it's the end-user who subscribed to your RSS!

C'mon... nobody knows RSS - so why would I need that?

Untrue. RSS is now hitting the mainstream. Just have a look at the biggest players online: Yahoo and MSN are already publishing a number of RSS feeds on different subjects... and in the new version of Windows (Longhorn) the RSS Reader will be built in, just like it's already built in Opera Browser, Mozilla Firefox Browser and Thunderbird Email Client.

So who's reading RSS nowadays?
