Rich Site Summary - RSS

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary. It's a web feed format used to deliver regularly updated content from websites in a standardized form, without having to visit the website directly. RSS feeds typically contain titles, summaries, and links to full articles or content.

How does RSS work?

1. Subscribing to feeds: Users can subscribe to RSS feeds from websites that offer them. These feeds provide information about new content on the site.

2. Using an RSS reader: To read RSS feeds, you use an RSS reader or feed reader (apps or programs). These readers collect and display all subscribed content in one place. Popular RSS readers include Feedly or Inoreader.

3. Automatic updates: The RSS reader regularly checks the subscribed feeds for new content and displays it to the user. This way, you can get all the latest updates from different sites centrally without visiting each one.

Benefits of RSS:

• Time-saving: You don't need to visit each website to search for new content. The content comes directly to you.
• Organized: RSS feeds show you only the newest and most relevant content.
• Ad-free: RSS feeds often have fewer distracting ads compared to the websites themselves.

Examples of RSS use:

• Subscribing to news websites to get the latest headlines.
• Following blogs or forums to stay informed about new posts.
• Receiving updates from YouTube channels or podcasts about new content.

RSS is a convenient way to keep track of updates from many different websites in one place.
