RSS stands for Really
Simple Syndication and
allows for information
to be syndicated, well,
simply. It means that
instead of you visiting
various websites for
updates and information,
information is packaged
and sent to your RSS
reader. Information is
supplied by websites in a
standard feed format, and
your RSS reader knows
how to turn that into
something that makes
sense to you. As soon as
an RSS feed is updated,
i.e. new information is
added, it appears in your
RSS reader.
