What Does RSS Stand for?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary. It is an XML(Extensible Markup Language)-based format for delivering regularly changing web content.
Using RSS, web content providers can easily create and distribute feeds of data such as news links, headlines, and summaries.
This makes RSS a great way to keep up to date content that available on the web.
Rather than having to regularly visit your favorite websites to see if there is any new content, RSS alerts you of the new content via feeds.
