In my research of RSS feeds, nobody truly knows what it really stands for, but I keep coming across Really Simple Syndication. RSS is a widely used format for syndicating web content of syndicating news and the content of news-like sites. If people like a certain topic on blogs or podcasts, they could use an “aggregators”, which is a program that links together related topics and generally works as a center library of a collection of related blogs and podcasts, to collect topics of interest. An aggregator can help people keep up with all your favorite blogs by checking their RSS feeds and displaying new items from each of them. RSS has an impacted on the news because RSS feeds collect news about topics that may not usually be covered by main stream news programs and sometimes are self produced. Once someone is interested in a certain topic, they use the aggregator to search, watch, and listen for posted news related stories across the Internet.
