About RSS Feeds

What is RSS?

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a Web content syndication format that is used for news distribution and other types of update services. RSS technology makes it possible to deliver the latest news or alerts (in the form of headline links) to any RSS capable Web page, cell phone, pager, or handheld device a subscriber designates.

In essence, RSS allows you to subscribe to targeted information from a Web service in a manner similar to subscribing to a paper magazine.
