What is RSS??

I was looking at the tabs I posted on another question.. There was something call 'RSS' and I don't know what is that.

What is RSS??
It stands for "real simple syndication".. its like taking an orange and making concentrate, it takes a webpage and sucks the important articles or posts off it and turns them into links. If you have an RSS reader(everyone does now, I think it is part of explorer) you can read the headlines from your favorite news site or the title of a new post on your favorite blog without having to go there... the rss reader can tell when they are updated and will let you know. Instead of going to 15 different websites you get everything you need right on your desktop. It's great technology really.

Reply:RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. An RSS document, which is called a "feed," "web feed," or "channel," contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite web sites in an automated manner that's easier than checking them manually.
