What is RSS?

RSS stands for either "Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary." It's basically a list of headlines and short descriptions that can easily be used by another program or Web site. Like the Web or e-mail, it's one more way for you to quickly get the information you need -- but without some of the information-overload drawbacks of those other media.
