What is RSS?
RSS is an online format for sharing web content such as news items, articles, and blog posts.

How does it work?
Using an "RSS Aggregator", or RSS Reader, you can subscribe to RSS feeds and be able to tell when sites you're subscribed to are updated with new content. An aggregator works much like an email program, and many can notify you when new articles, posts, or items are published to a site you're subscribed to.
