Explaining: RSS
Like email, but for websites. It’s a way to get new content delivered to you automatically. When a site gets new content, your RSS reader (a program that retrieves RSS): receives a notification.
Most sites with dynamic content have a little RSS button that helps you subscribe to that sites RSS feed. For example I have an RSS Feed on this site.
RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication”
The BBC has a great page explaining what RSS is
