RSS is acronym for Really Simple Syndication. It is a family of web feed format, and frequently updated web documents such as blogs, and news headline websites use it to publish their contents. This system is very useful in that it enables the publishers to syndicate their contents automatically. It also allows the readers easy access to the latest updated contents from their favorite web-blogs and new-related sites without visiting the sites each time.
An "aggregator" is either mobile devise based, or web based software that is used to read RSS.
Many different RSS readers are available for different platforms. These readers include Amephetadesk, FeedReader, and NewsGator. Web-based feed RSS readers are also available through My Yahoo, Google Reader and Bloglines.
Once I have the feed reader, I can subscribe to my friends' blogs by adding the weblogs' URI-Uniform Resource Identifier, to the list of feeds my Feed Reader. this allows it to check the updates on a regular basis. If my fellow classmates have added the RSS gadget to their blog page, I can just click that icon to subscribe to their blogs.
