Rss a web feed that allows users and applications to access updates to websites 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 automatically checks the RSS feed for new content, allowing the list to be automatically passed from website to website or from website to user.

Note: Also known as Really Simple Syndication (RSS).
