What is RSS?

The following information is from the PBS Teachers learning.now web site and news network. I am using their RSS feed for one of the news links on our tech blog.

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a method for online publishers to share and distribute their content directly to other websites or individual Internet users. RSS allows other websites to display the latest content from other websites. Similarly, Internet users will often collect RSS feeds from their favorite websites and use special software known as "RSS readers" to receive the latest content from these sites without having to visit them one at a time. It's not unlike having your own personalized news wire service, only including the blogs and news headlines that you select. You can learn more about the basics of RSS technology by reading the tutorial, What's RSS and Why Should I Care About It?, posted at the Digital Divide Network.
