2. WHAT IS RSS
 Short for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site
Summary
 RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use
the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by
retrieving the latest content from the sites you are
interested in. You save time by not needing to visit
each site individually.
 RSS is a better way to be notified of new and
changed content. Notifications of changes to
multiple Web sites are handled easily, and the
results are presented to you well organized and
distinct from e-mail.

3. HOW DOES RSS WORK?
 RSS works by having the Web site author maintain
a list of notifications on their Web site in a standard
way. This list of notifications is called an RSS feed.
People who are interested in finding out the latest
headlines or changes can check this list.
 Special computer programs called RSS
aggregators have been developed that
automatically access the RSS feeds of Web sites
you care about on your behalf and organize the
results for you. (RSS feeds and aggregators are
also sometimes called RSS channels and RSS
readers.)
