RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. According to Wikipedia's definition, RSS is a format used to publish frequently updated digital content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts.
Users of RSS content use software programs called "feed readers" or "feed aggregators". The user subscribes to a feed by entering a link to the feed into the reader program. These programs allow you to grab the RSS feeds from various sites and read them or display them on your own site. RSS feeds are usually delivered in XML format.
RSS feeds are useful because they allow 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. They are beneficial to a web site owner because they provide instant, free content for your site that is automatically updated without you having to lift a finger. You can subscribe to feeds in any topic of interest to you or of relevance to your site.
