RSS: Really Simple Syndication
Online content (e.g. news) is dynamic
RSS files are updated with the latest content of a site (automatically)
Could be the latest story, comment, photo, podcast, video, etc.
Fresh content can be syndicated (widely distributed) easily
RSS: I’m Ready for Some Stories!
Explaining RSS the Oprah way
“A way online to get a quick list of the latest story headlines from all your favorite websites and blogs all in one place.”

More sites are resembling blogs
RSS has become a de facto standard on millions of Web sites
Choose Your Weapon

News reader = Feed reader = Aggregator = RSS reader = News aggregator, and so on
Their basic function is managing all the feeds (RSS, ATOM, etc.) to which you’ve subscribed.
