RSS Help
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a method of describing news or other Web content that is available for "feeding" (distribution or syndication) from an online publisher to Web users. Essentially, RSS users download a program that then accepts information from Web sites that provide a "feed." That feed then pops up a headline, a short summary and a link on the user's screen to the Web page where the content is located. Feeds are often displayed in Web browsers or, similar to some e-mail programs, in small boxes that appear in the corner of a desktop.
