What is an RSS feed?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. Basically, it's a way to get content from the web delivered to your computer that in some ways replaces the web browser. For example, instead of using a browser like Internet Explorer to access content on the internet, you can use an "RSS Aggregator" (also known as "RSS Reader") to pull content from the internet. RSS allows you to access the content (text, audio and video) feeds from many different sources in a short amount of time. And you can update all the feeds at the same time, or one by one.
