RSS is fast becoming the chosen way to keep up to date on your favourite news or just about any website that delivers news of some sort, whether it is personal news for family or public news.
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication".

I think Rss feeds are a great way of keeping up to date with a small amount of time. I have used RSS feeds to monitor Photo sites from family or a weblog of family events and comments, I think they will be a big part of the web for a long time to come.
