RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a web format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites that change a lot, including major news sites like CNN, but can also be used to keep people updated on recent changes to any website or blog. An RSS-aware program automatically checks the feed for changes and updates the information for the user.
The address for an RSS feed usually starts with "feed://" instead
of the more familiar "http://" but
not always.
