RSS (Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary) is a type of web feed format used to publish frequently updated works on a website, such as blog entries, news headlines, audio and video in a standardized format. The RSS document features small text and some information about the post. RSS helps the readers to remain informed and updated without visiting the site. The RSS reader can check the feeds as per his requirements and may download or read the newly updated items.
According to a research report, RSS, the backbone of online content distribution is only used by 11% of viewers and only 17% of the rest said that they will use the RSS feed in future. Hence, it seems that broadly distributed online content has a dark future.
