RSS Feed

RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication. It’s like subscribing to a magazine. Every time a new magazine is available, you receive it in your mail box. RSS is the same thing, but with digital files. When you subscribe to a feed, the newest files will appear in your feed reader. A feed reader reads the RSS feeds. It can be your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari), a web-based Feed Reader (My Yahoo) or your email client (Microsoft Outlook). You can even have these feeds sent to your mobile phone.
