Hi Guys,

Well since we were working on RSS feeds for all the forums we felt lets conduct a short survey on whether our site visitors are aware of it and would they think its an interesting feature.

To give an idea in a more simplistic manner:

Many of us have iGoogle page as our homepage which has various widgets with news wont it be good if your favorite forum topics also appear as they are posted on India-Forums which saves you the time to check regularly of new topics.

This is just one example but then I am sure RSS feeds open new ways to access India-Forums interesting topics and increases its visibility.

Being a programmer myself I wont be able to explain it in end user language so lets see who can explain it in a more better way so that our site visitors understand it more clearly.

Cheers,
Vijay

Hey Vijay,

Yes i'm personally aware of it and it's certainly a good feature !

If i'm not wrong, I think in short, the RSS publishes frequently updated works .. and I think readers can subscribe to updates from favored websites .. m not very good at explaining things so sorry if what I said is totally wrong lollz ..

I will be frank. I know what it is but to a very basic level. I think like me there are many who don't know what it is and probably won't reply here.😛

RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually

More simple words: Allows you to keep yourself updated with the latest news and happening of your favorite websites, without visiting each of them manually. 😊
