RSS - Really Simple Syndication
RSS is an acronym, which stands for Really Simple Syndication and sometimes it is also referred to as Rich Site Summary. It is essentially a tool you can use to have news related headlines and announcements, delivered directly to you, rather than having to go look for it. RSS makes use of a certain code that constantly scans a website for updated content and then broadcasts those updates to all subscribers through a feed. These RSS feeds will contain the Date, Title, a Brief Description of the content and a Link to click on to read more of the article.
More and more sites are now offering RSS feeds, which can be identified by a small orange button that says either or - However, if you click one of these links, you will most likely get a page full of code in your browser.

RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated digital content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts.
Users of RSS content use programs called feed 'readers' or 'aggregators': the user 'subscribes' to a feed by supplying to their reader a link to the feed; the reader can then check the user's subscribed feeds to see if any of those feeds have new content since the last time it checked, and if so, retrieve that content and present it to the user.
The initials "RSS" are variously used to refer to the following standards:
* Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)
* Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91, RSS 1.0)
* RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9 and 1.0)
RSS formats are specified in XML (a generic specification for data formats). RSS delivers its information as an XML file called an "RSS feed", "webfeed", "RSS stream", or "RSS channel".

really just updates of different things. For instance, with RSS feeds you can track how a business is going or stocks.

RSS feeds are sort of like a stock ticker. They can be updated on the fly. A program reads RSS feeds and you can have it constantly updating so you get things like new updates or woot.com items straight to your desktop!
