What is RSS
RSS (Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary) is an XML-based format for sharing and distributing Web content. Using an RSS aggregator, one can view and use data feeds from various sources, such as zeenews.com, including headlines, summaries, links to full stories.
Benefits of RSS
RSS allows regular users of the web to stay informed by retrieving the latest content from various sites they are interested in. One saves time by not needing to visit each site individually.
