RSS, the acronym for, “Really Simple Syndication,” is a web feed format used to publish frequently updated sites such as blogs, updated video, and new articles. This benefits readers and publishers who constantly post new info about the happenings they concern themselves with. RSS, an XML based format, can be read using software called an, “RSS reader,” “feed reader,” or “aggregator.” The XML format allows files to be published once then viewed by many different programs. The reader then checks the subscribed feeds by becoming a subscriber to the URL and provides a user interface to check and read the feeds.
An aggregator, or RSS reader, is a web based blog that whose headlines and content are collected by the website owner then uploaded onto their respected page for easy and quick viewing by its subscribers. This can be done as frequently as the host wishes or as often as new content arrives.
