RSS 

RSS can stand for 3 different meanings. The original meaning and design of RSS was created by Dan Libby for Netscape. After a few months, they created a less problematic and easier-to-use adaptation known as Rich Site Summary or RSS 0.91. But they later lost interest, leaving it without a proprietor. As progressively more users were using RSS, Winer made an adjusted version of RSS 0.91 for Userland, claiming it as his own. Later on in 2005, Microsoft originated Really Simple Syndication in regard to its Simple Sharing Extensions. rss feeds filetype:rss

What is RSS? 

RSS is a XML file format for syndicating subject matter and news in the World Wide Web. It's generally used by sites that perpetually need to update their subject matter on a regular basis such as news program sites (CNN, BBC and Reuters) and blogs.
