Thread: What is RSS & how does it work?

RSS stand for Really Simple Syndication. It is basically a news letter and update service available publically. With the help of software known as RSS feeder, you can get the latest update of any service provider who provides RSS feeds. Mostly dynamic sites today provide RSS feeds which are broadly compatible with all mobile devices.

As per my knowledge RSS means Really Simple Syndication. This technology allows you to distribute some notices, headlines and many a times a large content to a large group.

RSS (originally RDF Site Summary, often dubbed Really Simple Syndication) is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed", or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship.

RSS feeds can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader", or "aggregator", which can be web-based, desktop-based, or mobile-device-based. The user subscribes to a feed by entering into the reader the feed's URI or by clicking a feed icon in a web browser that initiates the subscription process. The RSS reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds. RSS allows users to avoid manually inspecting all of the websites they are interested in, and instead subscribe to websites such that all new content is pushed onto their browsers when it becomes available.

In my opinion RSS helps the author of the website because of which he is capable to maintain the website in a very excellent way. RSS helps the author to maintain a notification group. This group is called as an RSS Feed. The users who want to check for this topic of their interest and that too the latest news about them just have to search this group. Even the headlines of the latest news can be checked by using this tactics.
