A web feed (or news feed) is a data format used for providing users with frequently updated content. Content distributors syndicate a web feed, thereby allowing users to subscribe to it. Making a collection of web feeds accessible in one spot is known as aggregation, which is performed by an Internet aggregator. A web feed is also sometimes referred to as a syndicated feed.

A typical scenario of web feed use is: a content provider publishes a feed link on their site which end users can register with an aggregator program (also called a feed reader or a news reader) running on their own machines; doing this is usually as simple as dragging the link from the web browser to the aggregator. When instructed, the aggregator asks all the servers in its feed list if they have new content; if so, the aggregator either makes a note of the new content or downloads it. Aggregators can be scheduled to check for new content periodically. Web feeds are an example of pull technology, although they may appear to push content to the user.

The kinds of content delivered by a web feed are typically HTML (webpage content) or links to webpages and other kinds of digital media. Often when websites provide web feeds to notify users of content updates, they only include summaries in the web feed rather than the full content itself.

Web feeds are operated by many news websites, weblogs, schools, and podcasters.

How can I feed my blog to my personal web site?
Q. I want to take the blog I have on 360 and place a feed from the yahoo blog to my personal website on earthlink ...anyone know how to feed it ?
Asked by Stoney W - Fri Mar 2 14:35:09 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Right click and copy the orange button that says XML. Then paste it into the site you want to be able to read it from. If you do not see an orange button goto your 360 settings page, click on blog settings and look for where it says "Who can se your blog", there'll be a checkbox for "Publish site feed" check that and you'll be set.

Where can I get feed back on a DJ service that is not the DJ's own web site?
Q. I want a 3rd party web site that offers testimonials on how their experience was with that company. The company is Jukebox Saturday Night. I want both the good and the bad(if any are bad)reviews before I decide to book them or not. Thank you!

A. If you really want to know about them, try contacting the BBB, if they are a member that is. If not, im pretty sure that the local redio stations have affiliations with them, depending on the genre of the music. Just contact those stations, and they would be able to tell you all about them. It worked for me.
