You've probably seen links RSS feeds (identified little rectangles with usually letters "RSS" or "XML" appearing them) appearing more more websites, but didn't know what was all about. You maybe even clicked one saw a page computer "code". The reason shows code instead easy read information because most browsers are not aggregators.
