| RSS (most commonly expanded as "Really Simple
Syndication") is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently
updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in
a standardized format. An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web
feed", or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata
such as publishing dates and authorship. Web feeds benefit publishers by
letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who
want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites or to
aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. RSS feeds can be read
using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader", or "aggregator",
which can be web-based, desktop-based, or mobile-device-based. A
standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once
and viewed by many different programs. The user subscribes to a feed by
entering into the reader the feed's URI or by clicking an RSS icon in a
web browser that initiates the subscription process. The RSS reader
checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any
updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read
the feeds. RSS formats are specified using XML, a generic
specification for the creation of data formats. Although RSS formats
have evolved from as early as March 1999, it was between 2005 and 2006
when RSS gained widespread use, and the (" ")
icon was decided upon by several major Web browsers.
