Q. What is web syndication, RSS feeds, Newsfeeds, etc.?
In simple words, RSS means Real Simple Syndication. To be even simpler RSS enables you to fetch the updated content from the web instead of you going to individual websites on the web and viewing content. To subscribe just click on the RSS feed icon and you will start getting the new content in your syndication reader.
You can choose from a variety of available readers to aggregate RSS feeds. I use the Google Reader.
