RSS is a technology that is still being used by millions of web users around the world to keep track of their favorite websites and blogs. In the ‘old days’ of the web to keep track of updates on a website, you had to ‘bookmark’ websites in your browser and manually return to them on a regular basis to see what had been added. This is still an option, but RSS feeds allow content to come to you.
