What is RSS?
Quote: "RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, including major news sites like Wired, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs. But it's not just for news. Pretty much anything that can be broken down into discrete items can be syndicated via RSS..."
Comment: Good overview...including a nice chart of various RSS versions. Article moves to technical details and explanations rather quickly (only the first several paragraphs are ideal for beginners...after that, some understanding of XML and Python is needed).
