What is RSS?
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication". It 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.





Hope that helps :)
Reply:RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a format used to organize content into a feed. RSS is often used in websites that are frequently/regularly updated (i.e. news websites). Websites that create RSS feeds allow you to view all the latest updates to their website in an organized list.





One of the best ways to understand what RSS is, is to try it out by subscribing to a RSS feed (e.g. http://www.yahoo.com/rss ).





RSS feed readers can be used to automatically gather the latest updates from all your favorite websites (the website must offer RSS for this to work). Note: Most web browsers (such as Internet Explorer 7) has built-in feed readers that allow you to subscribe to RSS feeds that interest you.

It stands for "Really simply Syndication". It is a type of 'subscription only' email. Kind of like 'only the mail you ask for'


You receive whatever you've signed up to then, be it; Newsletters, Bulletins etc but minus the spam (which you didn't ask for).


Hope this helps.

Reply:RSS (which, in its latest format, stands for "Really Simple Syndication") 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.





RSS content can be read using software called a "feed reader" or an "aggregator." The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds.





The initials "RSS" are used to refer to the following formats:





* Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)


* RDF Site Summary (RSS 1.0 and RSS 0.90)


* Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91)





RSS formats are specified using XML, a generic specification for the creation of data formats.
