RSS is an XML format for syndicating Web content. A Web site that wants to allow other sites to publish some of its content creates an RSS document and registers the document with an RSS publisher. A user that can read RSS-distributed content can use the content on a different site. Syndicated content includes such data as news feeds, events listings, news stories, headlines, project updates, excerpts from discussion forums or even corporate information. RSS was originally developed by Netscape.
RSS is used for marketing purposes to either allow affiliates or customers to access information quickly and easily, or to allow the construction of content pages based on RSS information fro other websites, such as Yahoo.
