About online web

How to use it
As with standard RSS Feeds, you need a feed reader—this is a tool like an email program. It's like getting an email every time one of your subscriptions updates their content, except no email address is required. There are many feed readers—some are online (like a webmail account), some are offline (you download the program to your computer), some are free and some aren't.

You may have come across feed readers already. If you use personalized home page services like My Yahoo! or My MSN, you have a feed reader—that's how content like news, weather and stock quotes appear on your personal page. You can also add content from any site with feeds to your page to get updates. Internet Explorer 7 has an inbuilt RSS aggregator.

There are websites now that serves as a Job Feed Aggregator. As the term suggest, its primary purpose is to gather all job feeds offered by major job sites and corporate job boards into one. This practice has gained wide acceptance by the user and the source of the job feeds since both have benefited from this. Easier job searching for Job-seekers while increasing traffic to the job feed source. Typical example of this type of sites are Jobzter!, Indeed and SimplyHired
New technology: semantic web for job feed
Semantic web is emerging as a new layer in the web, where any information such as job opening can be coded in machine-readable object. Standard languages like RDF and OWL are used to present these data objects. With semantic web technologies, data feed becomes more powerful because data and relationships between data can be described in any level of details. This new approach, particularly RDF feed, has just started to be applied to job feeds as well. For example, Ufeed, a free online data feed service, allows user to create job feed in RDF format in addition to RSS2.0 format. Since job opening information in RDF feed represents every attributes of job description in separate fields, such job feed enables much more fine-grain search and comparison at search engine that consumes the job feed.
