RSS Explained:
To understand syndication, consider the
"real world" situation where artist Scott Adams draws a
daily
Dilbert cartoon. The cartoon is made available to any
newspaper that cares to run it, in exchange for a fee -- and
2,000 papers in 65 countries do so.
Unlike Scott Adams, syndication of web
content via RSS is unlikely to make you rich. However, it
can be an easy way to draw attention to your material,
bringing you some traffic and perhaps a little net fame,
depending on how good your information is.
