RSS is short for Real Simple Syndiction. Simply put, this is a resource that is accessed by anyone who can view an RSS Feed. The feed is an XML file in a standardized format, that provides information you choose to allow. The idea behind an RSS Feed, is that visitors can access feeds to preview content that is updated on the website that owns the rss feed.
For example. Most Wordpress blogs include an automatic RSS Feed that visitors can subscribe too. People who subscribe to your blog can preview new content before they visit. Many people use this method to keep up with news and events, and other important information that is contstantly being updated. Website users who use RSS Feeds, can preview content on multiple sites from one place.
Conversely, some websites pull content via an RSS Feed, to include dynamic content to thier websites.
