RSS means Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary and its purpose is to provide readers with a personalized list of the most up-to-date content (or RSS feed) of their favorite sites in an easy way. Readers can scan headlines and stories from one place without having to go to each site. This is convenient and saves a lot of time. People can use a RSS reader or news aggregator to read a RSS feed or channel. A feed is created by the site (which enables a computer to go visit frequently and get the latest news) and in doing so, it helps to increase traffic.

just want to say thanks for this information.
