RSS News Feeds

What is RSS?

RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication and is a sub-set of XML (Extensible Markup Language). The main purpose of RSS feeds is to diseminate information without having to require a user to visit a webpage. One may ask, "What is the benefit of this delivery method?", the answer is that web sites and applications can aggregate news from a variety of sources automatically. Instead of having to visit nytimes.com every five minutes to check the latest headlines - one could download a RSS news reader and have it notify you when a new headline is added.
