What Is RSS?RSS (most commonly expanded as "Really Simple Syndication") is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated web pages—such as blog entries.

RSS feeds can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader", or "aggregator", which can be web-based, desktop-based, or mobile-device-based. The RSS reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds.
