What is RSS and why use it? RSS is a means for users to quickly and easily retrieve summaries of changing information on the Internet. Often referred to as "Rich Site Summary" or "Really Simple Syndication", this simple system saves the user the effort of visiting multiple web sites to retrieve information of interest - if the web site offers an RSS feed the user can quickly retrieve and review the latest information without having to visit the web site. If there is an article of interest in the RSS feed retrieved a user can simply click on the item to be instantly linked to the relevant detail. RSS is being rapidly being adopted to broadcast increasing amounts of changing web content and information. Respected organisations, such as the BBC, now offer RSS feeds to provide their readers with regular information updates on a wide variety of topics from news and sports channels to weather updates.
