RSS or 'Really Simple Syndication' - God, who thought of THAT name? - is a means of restoring newsfeed-esque stylez to the masses. Constructed using a special XML file, (and some pretty sophisticated back-end software, might I add) all one needs to do is link their RSS reader of choice to a service that supports RSS feeding, and as if it were always meant to be, receive whatever the owner of said website (or podcast or blog or whatever) decides to share via RSS.
I like to think of it as a newspaper that I can tailor to my own interests, whatever they might be.
