buttons
(a.k.a. chicklets) and wondered what they are? This Webpage is an attempt to
explain what they are and how you can use them and a USM client to better enjoy
the Web. The orange buttons link to a file, called an RSS file. This RSS file is a computer readable description of the human readable Webpage you are reading. Applications can use these files to notify you when new content is available on this Webpage.
Clicking on the orange buttons will often cause the
RSS file to be rendered in your browser and show a bunch of XML code that means
nothing to you.
RSS Feeds were designed to be displayed in something called a NewsReader or
Aggregator. These programs or services allow your to view the content of an RSS
Feed or Blog and even receive updates automatically when the feed has been
updated.
By default, there is no RSS reader installed with Windows XP, so when you click on these files your computer does not understand them. On the other hand, if you install an RSS reader that supports Universal Subscription Mechanism, then clicking on the orange buttons will signal your RSS reader to handle this RSS file. It should ask you, if you want to be notified of changes to this Webpage.
Following is a list of RSS readers that support USM.
USM is the protocol used to convert a click on an RSS file into a registration request with an RSS reader. The protocol is described here, http://www.kbcafe.com/rss/usm.html.
The USM Client is a reference implementation of the USM protocol that works for many RSS readers, listed below.
