RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. Syndication means website material that is made available to multiple other sites. I think this defintion really helps me to understand what an RSS does because, a RSS (like Google Reader) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Basically, if i find a web site intersting and informing I can add the subscription to my Google Reader. By doing this I will get notifications when something new was added instead of having to check the website myself. It helps me to not waist my time by checking the website I like but nothing being new. Not only does it tell me when newsfeeds are updated but it tells me if blogs are updated too. RSS makes using the web much easier.
