Rss

What can you tell me about RSS and RSS feed? Here is what I understand about it. It is an XML representation of a web site. It is basically XML data.

I think a web browser can be configured to display the RSS in a manner such that a visitor to your web site can understand it contents.

Am I right?

Are there desktop applications that can read RSS feed and display them?

One good advantage with rss feeds is that you can submit your site's rss feeds to various rss directories for backlinks. It will help in seo.
