26. RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication or Rich Site
Summary.
It is a web page with a .xml file type that can be
subscribed to and read by a newsreader (aggregator).
The aggregator will find the new content and display it
when it becomes available.
Newsreaders (sometimes called aggregators) are very
easy to find and use (stand alone applications or through a
web browser).
In essence, it is content that comes to you, instead of
having to search for it. It will save you an infinite amount
of time.

Editor's Notes
"At its heart, connectivism is the thesis that knowledge is distributed across a network of connections, and therefore that learning consists of the ability to construct and traverse those networks. It shares with some other theories a core proposition, that knowledge is not acquired, as though it were a thing. Knowledge is, on this theory, literally the set of connections formed by actions and experience.
