Newspaper 2.0: Your Guide To RSS
What’s RSS? And should you use it? Find out with our latest manual, “Newspaper 2.0: Your Guide To RSS”. This guide, from MakeUseOf staffer Kannon Yamada, explains everything you ever wanted to know about RSS. You’ll find what this powerful information gathering tool is, its surprising history and its future in a post-Google Reader world.
