It is very likely that you have at least heard of RSS, if from no other place than in my recent review of Google Reader. Well, in this primer we will dig down a bit and learn what RSS is capable of, and how its being used out there on the Internet.
When you are clicking around looking at different web sites, you are bound to visit one that you want to return to later. What do you do in that case?

Once you have a few bookmarks, you can organize them, get rid of the ones you don’t want any more, or even e-mail them to friends. However, web browser bookmarks are quirky — your web browser loves them, but if you want to edit already saved bookmarks, use a different web browser or even a different computer, bookmarks quickly become a pain.
