What is RSS? RSS is a format for syndicating news and the
content of news-like sites, including major news sites like Wired,
news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs.
But it's not just for news. Pretty much anything that can be broken
down into discrete items can be syndicated via RSS: the "recent
changes" page of a wiki, a changelog of CVS checkins, even the
revision history of a book. Once information about each item is in
RSS format, an RSS-aware program can check the feed for changes and
react to the changes in an appropriate way.
RSS-aware programs called news aggregators are popular in the
weblogging community. Many weblogs make content available in RSS. A
news aggregator can help you keep up with all your favorite weblogs
by checking their RSS feeds and displaying new items from each of
them.
