An RSS feed (RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication) is a listing of a website's content. It is updated whenever new content is published to the site. RSS readers and some browsers (IE 7, Firefox 2.0) "subscribe" to RSS feeds, which means they download lists of property, refreshing them at intervals, and present them to you in your RSS reader or browser.
