What is RSS?
RSS is an acronym with various meanings, the most widely accepted of which is really simple syndication. This is an XML-based format designed specifically for places with rapidly changing news. The text produced in RSS feeds usually contains the headline of each news item and a link to the website where you can read the full content.
An RSS feed is an easy way to get notified when the websites you're interested in publish new content. This way, instead of going to a website to find new news items and see if anything has changed, the RSS feed automatically informs you when new information appears, as well as allowing you to group together all the sources of information you're interested in so you can view them all on the same computer screen.
To follow RSS feeds, you need to install an RSS reader. This, also known as a news aggregator or news reader, is a piece of software that brings together all the news sources you have subscribed to so you can read all the headlines in one place. There are many free news readers online:
