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.
