    RSS lets you subscribe to updates from a website.

    It allows you to get notified whenever the site puts out a new RSS item on their RSS feed.

    For example, an online store might have an RSS feed for new product updates... if you are subscribed, every time the site introduces a new product, you will be notified by your RSS reader and can quickly get details about the product.

    An RSS reader can help you organize all the RSS feeds you have subscribed to so you can get a quick overview of what's happening at all of your favourite websites, whether it be blog posts, news stories, product updates, or general notifications.

    If you want to keep updated on news, etc., it's a reader for the Really Simple Syndication web feeds that are from newspapers, blogs, etc. It can scroll along the bottom of your screen.
