What is syndication?
Syndication is an arrangement where Web sites publish summary information about their site in a format that other Web sites can use to include in their own pages. Internet syndication is similar to the way that agencies like Reuters and the British Associated Press provide “news wire” services to supply publishers with stories that may not be covered by their own reporters. News feed syndication is also similar to Web Rings, sites with common interests that carry banner links to promote each other. With news feeds, you can also share the content of your site with your associates. Some Web sites use software that runs on their server to convert news feeds to Web pages. The Web Feed Generator enables you to do this without any server side scripts. The Web Feed Generator has a Javascript include format we call “Simple Syndication” that makes it much easier to include your news feed on another Web site.
