Web-o-pedia

"RSS is the acronym used to describe the de facto standard for the syndication of Web content...a Web site that wants to allow other sites to publish some of its content creates an RSS document and registers the document with an RSS publisher. A user that can read RSS-distributed content can use the content on a different site."
