Yahoo Offers RSS by SMS   12/2/2005 - 971 views,

Not sure yet what RSS is?

RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication”. Here’s how it works, using the Internet Patrol as an example:

The Internet Patrol publishes lots of articles every day of the week, and at all hours (it’s true, I never sleep!) Wouldn’t it be great if instead of having to visit the Internet Patrol website every hour or at least every day to learn what new and great information we’ve put up for you to read, you could just look at something which would give you a list of new articles, updated as they are published?

That’s what RSS is. Every time the Internet Patrol publishes a new article, the RSS list of articles is updated.

Usually to see this RSS list, you would use software called an “RSS feed reader.”

But now, thanks to the magic of Yahoo’s new RSS by SMS service, you can get notices of new articles published to the Internet Patrol (or anywhere else with an RSS feed) sent directly to your cell phone!
