What is RSS?

RSS feeds allow you to stay up to date with the latest information regarding your favourite websites. The information comes to you, you no longer need to surf to the websites. After all, the number of webpages continues to grow. There are millions of webpages. Keeping track of all the interesting sites will become very difficult.

Of course you know the websites you want to visit - they are probably listed in the favourites of your browser. However, it is not easy to find out whether new information has been published without visiting every website. Feeds allow computers to check for updates on websites.

An RSS feed usually comprises a number of titles and short summaries of new messages on the websites. This means you are able to very quickly check the summaries of the latest messages. And if it's interesting you can immediately click to the website to read the whole article. Also, your computer lets you know when new feeds are available. And that is exactly what an RSS feed is – a summary of the latest information on a website.

There is some discussion about what exactly RSS means, but for the majority of people RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It is an international standard and is becoming increasingly popular. It is becoming more popular because RSS makes it easier for you to stay up to date with the sites that interest you, quickly and easily.
