RSS

RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndicate. It is an internet tool for capturing news information from websites that offer this service. Most sites will offer free RSS feed so that you can stay up to date with their most current information. RSS is similar to receiving a bulletin in the mail or brochure from an organization informing you of the most current information they may offer; this is called the "RSS Feed" and operates much like a news feed. RSS presents you with the most current information the organization posts to their website. Often, RSS feeds are specific to the website's topic or category but is purely dependent on the organization of the website itself.
