What is MSI Fetch ? MSI Fetch is a PHP script used to display RSS content. It can be used to display other's content on your site, your intranet or your desktop. It is also known as an aggregator or feedreader and it parses RSS (or RDF or backend) files (xml files) and shows content formatted. It supports all versions of RSS (0.9, 0.9x, 1.0 and 2.0) and is template driven. It also outputs wml files to implement WAP sites (for mobile devices). It is simple to use, implement and customize accordingly to your needs

What is RSS?

Still confused about RSS? Most people on the Internet have heard of RSS and understand that it is something they are supposed to know about but don't have any clue where to start. RSS and feed technology can help you automate your web-surfing, deliver your newsletters and training, monitor your industry and publish in a spam-free, virus-proof channel.

RSS is a format for delivering and receiving syndicated information and content from any site that is providing the service, including major news sites like Wired, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, Podcasts, personal weblogs and even plain old websites. Basically it is a simple text file file (RSS or XML extension) that acts similar to a webpage and is updated either automatically by server enabled software or can be updated manually. 

But it's not just for news. Pretty much anything that can be broken down into a feed can be syndicated via RSS: articles, sermons, training or coaching, product updates and we have even seen one person deliver a chapter of his book each week. Once information about each item is in RSS format, an RSS-aware program can check the feed for changes and react to the changes in an appropriate way. 

Simply put its like getting your newspaper every day. The difference you can choose which part you want to have without getting the whole paper. Just get the latest carton or maybe a sports update. It can be delivered to a reading software program on your desktop or it can be embedded in your website
so others can see what you are.

The beauty of providing your visitors with RSS feeds embedded in your website is that it will update on a regular basis thereby providing you with fresh content everyday. This doesn't have to be on the front page but could be in articles, industry updates, a coaching feed etc. There are so many feeds online that almost any niche is catered for.
