I have seen the term RSS Feed a few times recently but have no idea what it is or whether or not it is useful to me.
Can someone please explain?

What is an RSS Feed

RSS = Root Sum of Squares.
In a square of land there are only so many roots that you can have, which is the sum. An arable farmer may sell this to a livestock farmer for over-wintering. This would be RSS Feed.

Computer geek to English, RSS is simply a format that allows the content from a web site, to be distributed to people interested in it, without them having sign up for, say a newsletter. Forum updates, etc. Anything that has dynamically changing content.
You install an RSS reader on your computer, point it at the RSS feed (website that offers the special RSS feeds for some or all of its content) and as soon as changes are broadcast by that feed, your reader captures it, allowing you to get the new content without having to visit each web site individually. You could, hypothetically, view many pages of content all from your one RSS reader without having to browse to each website individually.
Hope this helps, somewhat :?
