What is RSS?

could u plz explain what is RSS feeds?

What is RSS?
look at resolved questions! I and many others have answered this question many times.
Reply:RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, or Rich Site Summary, or RDF Site Summary. It's basically a standard format for transferring data/news. Webmasters send data in XML format (similar to HTML) and users can use/decode this with the use of reader programs (e.g. Mozilla Thunderbird) to view the updated news/data.





Example can also be found at the bottom of the source link
Reply:RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, including major news sites like Wired, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs. But it's not just for news. Pretty much anything that can be broken down into discrete items can be syndicated via RSS: the "recent changes" page of a wiki, a changelog of CVS checkins, even the revision history of a book. Once information about each item is in RSS format, an RSS-aware program can check the feed for changes and react to the changes in an appropriate way.
Reply:Check out this Wikipedia entry about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_(file_f... That should clear up anything you want to know.
