Definition:

RSS (most commonly translated as "Really Simple Syndication") is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format.[2] An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed",[3] or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship. Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. RSS feeds can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader", or "aggregator", which can be web-based, desktop-based, or mobile-device-based. A standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs. The user subscribes to a feed by entering into the reader the feed's URI – often referred to informally as a "URL" (uniform resource locator), although technically the two terms are not exactly synonymous – or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The RSS reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds.

RSS formats are specified using XML, a generic specification for the creation of data formats. Although RSS formats have evolved since March 1999,[4] the RSS icon ("") first gained widespread use between 2005 and 2006.[5]

I think where this will benifit is in Google and Yahoo. Make sure you add the feeds to your google webmaster tools and Yahoo you can submit feeds for searches.

You need to use both, don't make me come over there and smack you

I don't know if this will help with Yahoo rank but the more place you submit your link the better.

Question for you Rev - I love the idea of RSS, especially in the selling/trading forums - a great way to hop on a cool item!

Is there any way to make it so that only new threads will appear in RSS instead of replies/posts to a thread?

Thanks,
Ryan

I have linked an RSS feed to the C-SEA website for our club to follow along in the club forum. It's great to be able to do that.
