What is RSS feed and its benefit?
A lightweight XML format for distributing news headlines and other content on the Web.





How does it work? A Web site can allow other sites to publish some of its content by creating an RSS document and registers the document with an RSS publisher. A web publisher can post a link to the rss feed so users can read the distributed content on his/her site. Syndicated contentcan can include news feeds, listings of events, stories, headlines, etc
Reply:From wikipedia:





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.
