RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication". It started in the world of blogs to help people who read lots of blogs
Blogs usually have a free "RSS feed". It is a little XML web page that contains the headline, date/time and a description of each new item that the blog is publishing. You install a piece of software called an "RSS reader" on your machine. You connect it to the RSS feeds for your favorite sites. Then, when you click the "update" button in your RSS reader, it goes out and checks their RSS feeds. RSS gives you a much quicker way to keep up-to-date on your favorite sites.
It is completely free, with no strings attached. Now, almost all the sites offer RSS feed for their content...
