XML Stands for: Extensible Markup Language

Though this combination of words probably mean nothing to general public, it does mean a lot for web browsers.

Think of XML as a easily transferable database. Cross-platform, easy integration. 

Syndication represents the sharing do data. The best way to think of syndication is viral marketing - i.e. many places at once, high page impression count. 

Put these 2 together, and we have ourselves a very power option. The ability to easily transfer small bits of our database to MANY location with a click of a button! By many we mean 15 other sites that accept our Syndication.
