RSS, XML...and my tribute to Wikipedia

What is RSS you ask?
well... im a bit fuzzy with it too... shall we wikipedia it?
"RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated digital content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts."
I love the way it puts it so simply!
Heres one i prepared earlier (at the bottom of this page), its hosted by delicious.
Click here to read the Wiki entry on it!

XML... also a bit fuzzy, but thanks to good old wiki i understand it a little more.
"The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a general-purpose markup language.[1] Its primary purpose is to facilitate the sharing of data across different information systems, particularly via the Internet.[2]"
Aaaannnddd... the link to the wiki article!!
Of course Wikipedia is supposedly a horrible site to use for anything 'university', but at least it gives an understandable definition. I think i'll be forgiven? *smiles sweetly*
