RSS

=RSS --- symbol =
 * RSS** (most commonly translated as "Really Simple Syndication") is a family of [|web feed] formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as [|blog] entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format.[|[2]] An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed",[|[3]] or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus [|metadata] such as publishing dates and authorship. Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. RSS feeds can be read using [|software] called an "RSS reader", "feed reader", or "[|aggregator]", which can be [|web-based], [|desktop-based], or mobile-device-based. A standardized [|XML] file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs. The user subscribes to a feed by entering into the reader the feed's [|URI] – often referred to informally as a "[|URL]" (uniform resource locator), although [|technically] the two terms are [|not exactly synonymous] – or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The RSS reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a [|user interface] to monitor and read the feeds. RSS formats are specified using [|XML], a generic specification for the creation of data formats. Although RSS formats have evolved since March 1999,[|[4]] the RSS icon ("[[image:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/Feed-icon.svg/16px-Feed-icon.svg.png width="16" height="16" link="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Feed-icon.svg"]]") first gained widespread use between 2005 and 2006.[|[5]]
