What is RSS?

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication." It's a format that web sites and blogs can use to send updated headlines to you via your personalized Homepage, Live Bookmarks or Newsreader programs.  This means you don't have to visit each site individually to see what's new -- you simply scan headlines or brief article summaries and click to read the full text. That's the "really simple" part.

What is headline syndication?

Many web sites and weblogs (blogs) update often with new stories and posts.  More and more content publishers, media outlets, and bloggers are turning to "syndication" -- a way to broadly deliver their headlines and frequently updated web content via a standard distribution format (RSS)

Syndication describes the process of publishing simultaneously in more than one online location. It's usually not for distributing full-text articles, but often includes the headline and a few lines of text or a short summary of the article. The headline links back to the complete article or blog post on the publisher’s web site.

What are the benefits of using RSS?

There are many benefits to accessing headlines and information this way:

• Efficiency -- timely news and information is automatically there when you need it;
• Breadth -- headlines from the web sources you care about are consolidated;
• Organization -- sources can be displayed in order of importance - latest news on top;

Ultimately, you save time. Instead of browsing multiple sites to find information of interest, syndicated headlines are delivered directly to you. And they are consolidated in a way that's easy to scan periodically throughout the day. When a headline interests you, just click and go directly to the source.  Source: Yahoo Help
