1. About RSS

    RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content including, but not limited to, blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts.

    RSS content can be read using
    software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader" or an "aggregator". The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds.

    The initials "RSS" are used to refer to the following formats:
    * Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)
    * RDF Site Summary (RSS 1.0 and RSS 0.90)
    * Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91).

    RSS formats are specified using XML, a generic specification for the creation of data formats. Although RSS formats have evolved since March 1999, the RSS icon ("") first gained widespread use in 2005/2006.
