What is RSS?

Most sources define RSS as an acronym standing for Really Simple Syndication. In brief, RSS is an XML format for distributing headlines, links, and brief descriptions of Web-based content, known as feeds. Users can have constantly updated content, from Web sites of their choice, delivered to them via software specifically tailored to receive these types of feeds. Users control the information that comes to them by subscribing to a feed. An RSS reader, or news aggregator, lets you peruse headlines, read summaries, and then click links to specific stories to open them on their original Web sites in your default Web browser.
