What is RSS?

RSS is a web content syndication format. The acronym stands for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary.

Websites that support such simple syndication provide their content in a format that can be read by news aggregator client software. Links to these specifically formatted pages are often referred to as "feeds" due to the dynamic nature of how often they can be updated. A desktop RSS aggregator works by periodically checking on subscribed feeds for new content. When new posts are found, usually a portion of that post such as the title and perhaps a short excerpt from the article are displayed. The full story can be linked to open in a separate web browser, or in some cases in the news aggregator itself.
