What’s RSS Feed?
Well, let’s start with the important questions. What’s RSS Feed?
RSS, short for Really Simple Syndication, is a technology that allows websites to distribute their content in a standardized format.
Instead of manually visiting various websites to check for updates, users can subscribe to RSS feeds and receive the latest content directly in their RSS feed reader.
These feeds collect headlines, summaries, and links to full articles, providing a convenient way to consume a vast amount of information from different sources in one place, or in our case automate it.
These feeds standardize content into a structured format that can be easily understood by a wide range of applications, including Nuelink, which we will show you how to use to auto-post your content to social media.
