RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication".
Have you subscribed to any website for regular email notifications? Due to this our inbox gets cluttered with unorganized notifications form various sites. The solution to this problem is RSS feed.
RSS feed is available on almost all websites, weblogs, forums and other similar sites. Sites providing this feature send alerts about current updates. These updates include a list of headlines, update notices and sometimes content. It sends these updates to a wide number of people who have subscribed to this feed. In order to get RSS feed alerts the user needs to download the program software called "RSS aggregators", also known as RSS Channel or RSS Reader. This software provides a list of notifications commonly known as RSS feed (XML format). The list has the title, description and link to the website. The list of updates is organized in a chronological order with the latest updates on the top.
