What is RSS?
Real Simple Syndication is a format that allows Web users to monitor the content of multiple Web sites through a RSS Reader program and receive a notice when they have been updated. RSS feeds are a way for website owners to easily distribute a list of headlines, update notices, and content to a wide number of people on the web. Most people are interested in many websites whose content changes on an unpredictable schedule. Examples of such websites are news sites, travel sites, community information pages, medical websites, and weblogs. Repeatedly checking each website to see if there is any new content can be very tedious. A Web site is using RSS if it has a RSS, RSS 2.0, XML, or 
icon.
