WHAT IS RSS?
RSS – short for Really Simple Syndication – is a popular means for users to receive content from a publisher (such as news headlines) without requiring them to constantly visit a publisher’s Web site to see what’s new. Typically, each item in a USATODAY.com RSS feed contains a story’s headline, the first one or two sentences of the story, and a link back to the full story on USATODAY.com. USATODAY.com RSS feeds are based on content published to our main Web site and are updated continually.
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is the new and easy way to receive automatic updates from websites. It is an XML file that can be read by special feed reading software. Instead of revisiting a site several times to check for updates, news readers scan for updates and display them for you. Using a news reader means you can stay in touch with many different sources of news and information.
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and it is a way to tell other people about your new blog entries. You post your Web log entries in the XML specification RSS. Then readers all over the world can view your blog entries on content aggregators. Or you can post content from other blogs on your site using RSS tools.
