What's an RSS Feed?
It is an abbreviation for Really Simple Syndication. Specifically, a family of feed formats used to publish frequently updated content in a standardized format. The RSS Document or "feed" (sometimes is also called a channel) includes summarized text and metadata. They permit us to syndicate content automatically.

Okay, great. So where is it?
It is right here: http://public.xna.com/Feeds/AllFeeds.ashx
From here you can pick the feeds that you're interested in keep up with. Right now, we offer the following feeds:

The Last 20 Approved Games: This feed represents the last 20 approved games (including new and updated games) on the Xbox LIVE^TM Community Games channel.

You can choose to customize this feed by editing the URL in the following way:

• Changing the number of games returned. Change the count parameter to 10 to return the last 10 games. You can view all of the approved games by providing a count of 0.
• Changing the format parameter between the RSS and Atom feed formats.

For Example: http://public.xna.com/Feeds/CcoFeeds.svc/PublicCatalog/ByMarket?format=[rss|atom]&count=[count]

The Last 10 Approved Games for the United States: This feed represents the last 10 approved games for the United States marketplace (including new and updated games) on the Xbox LIVE^TM Community Games channel.

You can choose to customize this feed by editing the URL in the following way:

The Last 3 Games Created by jenkmeister: This feed represents the last 3 approved games created by 'jenkmeister' on the Xbox LIVE^TM Community Games channel. Why Jenkmeister? Because he's awesome, but if there is a different Creator that you'd like to keep up with you can customize this feed by editing the URL in the following way:

• Changing the number of games returned. Change the count parameter to 10 to return the last 10 games. You can view all of the approved games by providing a count of 0.
• Changing the creator parameter to a different creator name.
• Changing the format parameter between the RSS and Atom feed formats.

The last three feeds you can customize to choose between RSS or Atom feed format.

What ELSE can I do with RSS feeds?
If you're particularly crafty you can use them in all sorts of ways. You Creators are nothing short of space geniuses so I have no doubts you'll be able to make some rad widgets and such. If you do, or even if you just have a question or comment, be sure to tell me!

For our part, I've started a New Xbox LIVE Community Games Twitter feed. You can follow it and two times per day it will Tweet any games that are new or updated. http://www.twitter.com/NewXBLCG.
