What is RSS?
taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_(protocol)

Web feeds provide web content or summaries of web content together with links to the full versions of the content, and other metadata. RSS in particular, delivers this information as an XML file called an RSS feed, webfeed, RSS stream, or RSS channel. In addition to facilitating syndication, web feeds allow a website's frequent readers to track updates on the site using an aggregator.

A program known as a feed reader or aggregator can check a list of feeds on behalf of a user and display any updated articles that it finds. It is common to find web feeds on major websites and many smaller ones. Some websites let people choose between RSS or Atom formatted web feeds; others offer only RSS or only Atom.

RSS-aware programs are available for various operating systems (see list of news aggregators). Client-side readers and aggregators are typically constructed as standalone programs or extensions to existing programs such as web browsers. Browsers such as Opera browser and Mozilla Firefox are moving toward integrated feed reader functions.

 

On Web pages, web feeds (RSS or Atom) are typically linked with the word "Subscribe" or an orange rectangle, Livemark, or with the letters XML or RSS, usually a direct link to an RSS feed. Many news aggregators such as My Yahoo! publish subscription buttons (Image:Addtomyyahoo4.gif) for use on Web pages to simplify the process of adding news feeds.
