What's an RSS? something that sends it to you each day?


Sort of, although it's pull rather than push.

Site publishes RSS feed, which generally amounts to "we have changes,
here are changes/links to new content/whatever"


That sounds like a good idea, but in this case I know the change is
made every day at midnight, not at irregular intervals. But it sounds
great for ones that you want to know if they've changed.


Very useful for, say, news sites. (Google has started doing experimental
RSS feeds of Usenet, to read 'news site' a different way...)

The other benefit is, even for sites where you know when they update, it
allows you to have software pull the new page to you without having to
remember to check it...

Hope this helps.


Yes it does. Does it work with any website, or does the website have
to use RSS?
