What does RSS stand for?
RSS (also referred to as Rich Site Summary; RDF Site Summary; and, occasionally, Really Simple Syndication) is a format for delivering regularly changing content to a website, desktop, or mobile device.
Content providers, such as journal publishers, newspapers, magazines, radio and television networks, and other organizations can syndicate content automatically through RSS feeds.
