RSS is short for “Really Simple Syndication” and it is a method of sorting and displaying content from multiple sources. Whenever a website with an RSS feed is updated, links to the new content on that site are displayed on the RSS feed. Where ever that feed is placed, a link will be dynamically inserted into that page. What you can do with RSS is nearly endless.
If you have a list of websites which you love reading, you can set up a website or software program which reads updates on your chosen RSS feeds to display all of their newly posted content to a single source. Thus, you don’t need to head on over to all ten websites to check on all of your favorites, you can simply check one source. If a site is updated, a new link will be posted, and if not, you won’t see anything. [More]

RSS stands for Rich Site Summary, or for Really Simple Syndication. Both mean the same thing, so don’t let it confuse you. An RSS is something a website (or a blog) offers to readers provide a “news feed” of their information. It’s available for everyone to add to their own “news reader” for free and gets displayed on your
desktop or in your web browser.
It works almost like a stock ticker, delivering exactly the information that you have anonymously “subscribed” to, eliminating the need to go out and check your favorite outlets for new information, because they’re already delivered to your computer. Here is an example of an RSS Feed: [More]
