Today I learnt about RSS.
RSS, this means 'real simple syndication'.
RSS is part of a family of web feed formats used to send frequently updated data.
The principle of RSS is that it keeps you updated on a particular website by subscribing to its RSS feeds. For example if you regularly visit a website on cooking recipes, instead of repeatedly searching through web pages for this information, the information comes to you. However, not all websites offer RSS feeds, websites that do tend to have a RSS logo appear on the page in the url in certain web browsers e.g. firefox, or there's an option within the page, normally saying 'subscribe to feed' or a similar phrase.
To use RSS feeds, you have to use a program known as 'readers or aggregators . The RSS feeds are recieved by these programs, think of them as a mail box to recieve data.
