Real Simple Syndication
it basically means the stuff you sign up for automatically is emailed to you when there is new material.
it also stands for Richard Scot Sloan, but that`s the more rare usage.

Patti,
RSS is an XML formatted file that usually contains a syndicated stream of content from a website, blog or other web-based publication. RSS is loosely similar to email, but RSS feeds are not "sent" directly to any specific person, instead each person requests the feed content on demand.
To read an RSS feed, you need an RSS reader, which can be a standalone program or a plug-in integrated into your web browser, email client or other software. Some websites, such as Google, also provide RSS components to allow you to read feeds as part of your personalized home page. I use a RSS Bandit, which is a free, .Net based reader that you can download from http://www.rssbandit.org
You can also view the structure of any RSS feed inside your web browser by simply entering the RSS feed`s URL. For example, try this link: http://turnleft.inetsolution.com/index.xml. You can also checkout more examples at: http://news.yahoo.com/rss

Thanks for the answers, I feel much more informed.
Hello board;
Hoping to find some ideas or suggestions for my web business. Does anyone have access to a list of free advertising on the web? Also, on a more technical note, my website is made primarly of datafeeds that offer my products and are drawn from a MySql database. Is there a method anyone knows that can capture my site information for an RSS feed that I can then distribute to gain more traffic?
I appreciate any suggestions, advise and any ideas what so ever!
