• RSS means « Rich Site Summary », or « Really Simple Syndication ». We generally speak about « content syndication ». A RSS feed, which can also be called RSS thread, is a small text file, in xml format, available on our server.
• Without going into technical details, we can sum up this service by saying that it represents for you a simple means to check out the latest news of the AER from your computer, your personal assistant or even your iPod.
• Although it remains widely unknown, this broadcasting technique already is a standard that can't be ignored for all specialists of technological development.
• RSS feeds aren't written in full text: only the beginning of the information is available. In order to see it as a whole, you have to click on the link that would then open the webpage with all information. The fact of including only summaries into the RSS feeds allows us to limit the size of each xml file and so the necessary means to read it.  As a consequence, navigation will be flowing for all users.
