RSS = Really Simple Syndication
RSS is an easy way to keep up with the latest news online.
RSS lets you know when a web site is updated, as long as that site has an "RSS feed."
To sign up for an RSS feed, you need something called a "news reader." This is a piece of software that checks RSS feeds and lets you read any new articles that have been added to them.
