RSS is a way for blogs, feeds, and news to communicate. Think of it as a kind of virtual system of beacons that sites use to signal BlogBridge (and other tools) when content is added. RSS feeds are used by virtually all news organizations and all blogs, by info-rich, rapidly changing sites such as eBay and craigslist, travel and real-estate services, and by many online project management tools. RSS is also being applied in a variety of other ways that are rapidly changing familiar and indispensable Internet tools such as search and email.
