<P> RSS ( Rich Site Summary ; originally RDF Site Summary ; often called Really Simple Syndication ) is a type of web feed which allows users to access updates to online content in a standardized , computer - readable format . These feeds can , for example , allow a user to keep track of many different websites in a single news aggregator . The news aggregator will automatically check the RSS feed for new content , allowing the content to be automatically passed from website to website or from website to user . This passing of content is called web syndication . Websites usually use RSS feeds to publish frequently updated information , such as blog entries , news headlines , audio , video . An RSS document ( called `` feed '' , `` web feed '' , or `` channel '' ) includes full or summarized text , and metadata , like publishing date and author 's name . </P>
