What is RSS?
"RSS" stands for Really Simple Syndication. It is a web content syndication format, based on XML, that allows websites to provide dynamic information in a "feed" to readers. RSS feeds can be used in a variety of ways, from being displayed on an aggregate news site like Google News to reading the information on your desktop with a standalone program. RSS readers automatically update their data from the source website, so that you continually receive the latest news and information.
