About RSS Technology

What is RSS and how is it beneficial to me?

• RSS is an acronym for "Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary".
• It is based on XML technology and used for content distribution.
• It's a great way to have the latest news and information delivered straight to you, as it is updated in the form of a news feed.
• The feeds made available here from www.cde.com enable frequent visitors to track site updates using an aggregator (or feed reader, RSS reader, etc.)
