What is RSS?

RSS is a format that makes it easy to keep track of new web content. It’s like a stream of content or updates to a Social Media site. The content could be blog posts, images, audio files, videos and sorts of web content. Think of the ticker tape feed of news headlines, that you might see on the bottom of a screen on a TV News show.

Before RSS if we wanted to track new content, news and other updates on a website. We would probably bookmark the site and check back on a regular basis. However if your website site or Social Media account for that matter is configured for RSS, visitors can subscribe to updates. Once subscribed to an RSS feed, readers will be informed when new content is added without having to revisit the website.
