What is an RSS Feed?

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds are a group of file formats used by news websites and blogs. You subscribe to a site or blog that provides RSS feeds to be notified when new information, articles, blog posts, etc., are added. You can then use RSS Reader software, which monitors these feeds to retrieve the new information. When using the RSS Reader software, you’re normally provided with a short description of each article listed as a hotlink.
