RSS (Really Simple Syndication) allows users to subscribe to feeds from websites to receive headlines and summaries of new articles in an aggregated location. It provides an efficient way to stay updated on information from multiple sources without visiting each site individually. RSS uses XML formatting and tags to tell aggregator programs how to retrieve, organize, and display feed updates for the user.

2. What is the RSS ?
RSS is acronym for Really Simple Syndication.
If you want to use particular Web site of RSS, you must subscribe
to a source of information. Source is called “feed”.
RSS give out headline and summary of the newest articles to
user's, so We can choose only necessary information.
We can save time thanks to RSS.
Now, We can get much information thanks to Internet.
However, we must choose necessary because it is too much
information in Internet.
RSS is useful and efficient technology in modern information
society.
3. Necessary for reading feeds
If you have computer, and you can connect Internet, you can use
RSS. After that, you need something that can read, or aggregate,
RSS files.
Aggregators collect and interpret RSS feeds in one location.
You can see the latest headlines from Web site of the using RSS,
all in one place.
4. Web browser handle RSS feeds
Each user can let each user's Web browser handle each user's RSS
feeds. This process have advantage and disadvantage.
Advantage:
You don't have to switch programs when you want to catch up on your
feed reading, and you don't have to switch back to your aggregator if
you run across a great site which you'd like to follow.
Disadvantage:
If you use more than one computer to access the Internet, you have no
good way to synchronize your RSS feeds.
If you take 15 minutes to catch up on the latest headlines, later on
you'll be seeing some of the same headlines on your home. computer.
5. Efficient using RSS
Each people need to get each necessary information.
If you use RSS, I recommend to use RSS options.
Most personal start pages offer only a limited number of viewable
items per feed, though you may have the option to see more. More
than likely, these personalized pages will also group your feeds
together by site. If you would prefer your feeds mixed together,
for example with the newest items from all feeds on top, you will
want to consider sites that serve as feed aggregators.
If you want your national news in one folder and your gardening
blogs in a separate folder, you can do that.
6. The working of the RSS
RSS uses the World Wide Web Consortium's Resource
Description Framework (RDF) as a guide to tell a
feed aggregator how to read the file. RDF is based
on extensible markup language (XML), a cousin of
hypertext markup language (HTML).
RSS is based on XML, however, the document contains
information that tells the aggregator where to look
for the standard upon which it's based.
RSS tags tell your aggregator how to display the
feed on your screen.
