What is RSS Feed?

RSS works by having the website author maintain a list of notifications on their website in a standard way. This list of notifications is called an "RSS Feed". People who are interested in finding out the latest headlines or changes can check this list. Special computer programs called "RSS aggregators" have been developed that automatically access the RSS feeds of websites you care about on your behalf and organize the results for you.
 
RSS (Rich Site Summary; originally RDF Site Summary; often called Really Simple Syndication) uses a family of standard web feed formats to publish frequently updated information: blog entries, news headlines, audio, video. ... RSS feeds enable publishers to syndicate data automatically.
 
RSS is beneficial to both publishers and website visitors. To keep things simple I have listed just a few of the benefits for both publishers
Reaching new audiences through syndication
Improved search engine optimization
Easier and less expensive vehicle for communication than email
Additional way to communicate with customers or potential customers.
