RSS stands for either Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication. RSS is a way to automatically receive constantly updated news or other information from a web site. RSS has become quite popular lately, both for people who want to stay informed on a particular topic and by internet marketers who want to publicize their sites to as large an audience as possible.

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. Syndication, in this case, means republishing an article that comes from another source such as a website or blog and the 'really simple part' is self explanatory. RSS is a very useful tool. It is also a versatile one that can benefit not only to the site which produces the feed, but also other sites (that use it) and--let's not forget them--Mr and Mrs Joe Public.
