What is an RSS Feed?

An RSS (which stands for Rich Site Summary) is a format that shows regularly changing web content. They're for news sites, web logs (blogs), and other places that update their stuff reguarly. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually. You ensure your privacy, by not needing to join each site's email newsletter.

RSS is a standard format for syndicating content on the Internet. The content can be anything! Often information contained in an RSS feed is syndicated on other sites which expands its reach.
