What is RSS?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication
and it really is very simple and very useful. RSS is text-based format,
a type of XML for content distribution.
When a website
has an RSS feed, it is said to be "syndicated." RSS
feeds are available free from thousands of news organizations, magazines,
newsletters, hobbyists' sites and more. Let’s say you like checking
blogs or other news sites daily. Instead of checking all of your favorite
blogs each day, all you need to do is use an RSS reader to get all of
the updates in one place.
An RSS reader is also called a news aggregator, and that’s what
it does: it aggregates recent news, website updates, or blog posts into
one spot so that you can read them much more efficiently.
There are many different RSS readers out there. Some are downloaded
applications, others are web-based. Either will work fine.
