What is RSS?

RSS, commonly known as Really Simple Syndication, allows updates of web content to be delivered to your computer and other web-enabled devices through the use of feeds.  The RSS feed will include a headline and short summary with a link to the original article.  It is an XML-based format in which content from blogs and Web sites is delivered to specialized RSS news readers.

What are the benefits of using RSS?

RSS is an easy way for you to review updates from all of your favorite Web sites and blogs without having to visit each site. Using an RSS reader, you subscribe to a feed, and then scan headlines. If you want to read the article, simply click on the headline to read the complete article. RSS readers collect feeds into one place that you can manage.
