  4. What is an RSS feed? • RSS is commonly known as ‘Really Simple Syndication’. It is a group of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as, news headlines, journal content, and podcasts in a standardized format. An RSS feed contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. • RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with web sites in an automated manner that delivers the content they request or subscribe to their desktop. The ‘news’ you want is delivered to you, rather than you having to regularly go to the ‘news agency’ or web sites to find it. • The benefit of RSS is the aggregation of content from multiple Web sources in one place – your web browser, iGoogle page, laptop, PDA or mobile phone…
