RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and allows new information from particular websites, such as blogs, news sites and podcasts, to be updated in to a central place online.
For example. a RSS feed is used to alert readers of blogs that new articles have been posted. The blog reader does not have to visit each individual blog but can read all new articles from a central online resource.
