[edit] Introduction
RSS stands for "Real Simple Syndication". There are still many people that aren't aware of that RSS feeds are. Rather than giving the usual examples that are found on the internet we'll try to explain RSS feeds like this.
[edit] Useage
Let's say you're a person that like to read various blogs, or you like to read the tech section on CNN. Instead of having to go to all the websites you like to read most, you can subscribe to their rss feeds. The feed contains information which will allow a program such as an RSS reader to display the information contained in the feed. In most instances this information consists of the headlines, and a few lines of the first paragraph.
