Why use RSS?
为什么要使用rss？

RSS was designed to show selected data.
Rss的作用是显示已选择的内容。

Without RSS, users will have to check your site daily for new updates. This may be too time-consuming for many users. With an RSS feed (RSS is often called a News feed or RSS feed) they can check your site faster using an RSS aggregator (a site or program that gathers and sorts out RSS feeds).
没有RSS，用户就必须通过每天检查站点来进行更新。这对于很多用户而言无疑是一种时间的浪费。但通过RSS 输入端（feed）（RSS页常被叫成News feed 或RSS feed），它们就可以通过使用RSS sggregator（RSS aggregator——用来对RSS输入端（feed）进行收集和分类的站点或程序），用户就可以更快地访问站点。

Since RSS data is small and fast-loading, it can easily be used with services like cell phones or PDA's.
因为RSS数据更小，更容易加载，所以通过像手机或PDA's之类的服务器都可以很方便的使用。

Web-rings with similar information can easily share data on their web sites to make them better and more useful.
带有类似信息的Web-rings可以很容易地共享网站上的数据，并使这些数据更加优化、更加有用。
