RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary. RSS feeds are ways to publicizing updates to websites. RSS feeds usually contain the title of the update originating from the website, and the link to the website source.

To use RSS feed you need an RSS reader to read the RSS feed from the source website. 
You can get a desktop RSS reader, or an online or web-based reader.

For beginners, web-based RSS reader are recommended since they are usually user-friendly.
Scan the homepage of your target website for the RSS or XML button. It contains the RSS code you need to enter in the RSS reader. Copy and paste this code into your RSS reader, and you can start reading the RSS feeds coming from the website. New postings appear as they are published in real time at the source website.

Internet regulator ICANN has voted unanimously to expand the number of top level domain names. It’s in one of the biggest shake-ups in the Internet’s brief history in a vote on allowing millions of new domain names from .paris to .Pepsi.

The decision provides companies the opportunity to turn their brands into web addresses, while individuals could potentially use their names. A second proposal, that would introduce domain names written in scripts such as Asian and Arabic, was also approved.

“We are opening up a new world and I think this cannot be underestimated,” said Roberto Gaetano, a member of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).

ICANN has been working on the move for nearly six years.

The new plan is sure to inspire a rush for thousands of new top level domains based on any string of letters, providing a “business plan and technical capacity” can be demonstrated.

The popular online trading site eBay is one of the many companies that wants to have its own domain name.

Broad product groups such as .bank or .car are also likely contenders.

Cities could benefit too from this liberalisation, with the German capital hoping for .berlin or New York for .nyc.

Expect the new system to come replete with contentious battles and bidding wars as companies move to secure domain names based on their intellectual property.

The new system is anticipated to come in the next year, so get ready domain name buyers!
