Hi,
Since there has been more than one question regarding RSS,
I'll repost what I have sent to other people off list.

What is RSS?

It means Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication, depending on whom
you ask. In one sentence, it is XML data in certain format returned from
a website.
While it has many uses, one of the most common is a way to read news from
a lot of websites in a simple and consistent manner. If you want to
learn more, I suggest this link:

Hope this helps.
