What is “RSS/syndication”?

In a nutshell, RSS is the technology that allows for the “publish and subscribe” model to work in podcasting, blogging, and other websites that change or add to their content regularly. It has undergone several releases since its earliest incarnation, and the most current standard is called “Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)”. Presently, most RSS subscriptions are free (this text is taken from “Podcasting Legal Guide: Rules for the Revolution by Vogele, Esq., Garlick, The Berkman Center”).

The definition, below, is taken from Wikipedia.

RSS (which, in its latest format, stands for “Really Simple Syndication”) is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. An RSS document, which is called a “feed”, “web feed”, or “channel”, contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite web sites in an automated manner that’s easier than checking them manually.

RSS content can be read using software called a “feed reader” or an “aggregator.” The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed’s link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user’s subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds.
