What is RSS?
Most sources define RSS as an acronym standing for Really Simple
Syndication; other sources say the acronym derives from Rich Site Summary
or RDF Site
Summary. In brief, RSS is an XML format for distributing
headlines, links, and brief descriptions of Web-based content, known as feeds.
Users can have constantly updated content, from Web sites of their choice,
delivered to them via software specifically tailored to receive
these types of feeds, known as a news
aggregator or reader. Users control the information that comes to
them by subscribing to a feed. An RSS
reader, or news aggregator, lets you peruse headlines, read summaries, and
then click
links
to specific
stories
to
open
them right
on their
original
Web
sites
in
your
default
Web browser. Many readers are free and will not conflict with firewalls.

What is the Foundation doing with RSS?
The Foundation is publishing our "What's New" and other water industry items
of interest in an RSS feed. This means that anyone with an RSS Reader can be
notified
immediately
of new reports, conferences, RFPs, etc. It is one more avenue for us
to keep you informed of important items. By subscribing to our feed with your
news aggregator, you won't have to remember to check our site to see what is
new
- our information
will
come to you.
The Foundation will investigate opportunities for providing other water industry feeds
from some of our partners and making the best use of this technology for our
subscribers.
