What is RSS?
RSS (an acronym for "Rich Site Summary" and later coined "Really Simple Syndication") is an XML format for distributing and syndicating web content like news headlines. But it's not just for news: anything that can be broken down into independent items can be syndicated via RSS (e.g. frequently updated titles, event lists, and even product catalogs). Once information of an item is in RSS format, an RSS-aware program can check, update and display the feed for you. An RSS service consists of a list of items, each of which contains a headline, summary, and a hyperlink to a web page. A lot of web portals and corporate websites provide an RSS service, like?Yahoo!,?CNet,?CNN?and?IBM.
