RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication". It is a convenient way of distributing information to a wide number of people.

On many websites, content does not change on regular dates. Repeatedly checking each website you are interested in for new content can be very tedious. E-mail notifications of changes can fill mailboxes and are often mistaken for spam. RSS is a new way of notifying readers of new and changed content. Notifications from multiple websites are handled easily and the results presented in an organized manner and distinct from e-mail.

RSS works by having the website author maintain a standardized list of notifications on their website, known as an "RSS Feed". Special computer programs called "RSS aggregators" or "RSS Readers" have been developed that automatically access the RSS feeds on websites you are interested in on your behalf and forward the results to you automatically.
