Woman at computerRSS (or Really Simple Syndication) feeds are free updated content sent to your computer via the Internet. RSS feeds usually contain headlines, article summaries, and links to full articles on the Web site of the organization that sends the feed.

RSS is an easy way for you to be alerted when content that interests you appears on your favorite Web sites. Instead of visiting a particular Web site to browse for new articles and features, RSS automatically tells you when something new is posted online.
