What is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is simply an online channel of information. Usually an RSS channel will contain a list of headlines and short descriptions with a link to the story on an originating Web Site. You subscribe to an RSS channel through feed readers or aggregators. There are many different feed readers  that are used to handle RSS.  The feed readers aggregate your RSS subscriptions so you can get your news from various Web Sites in one place.
