RSS
File extension: .rss, .xml
MIME type: application/rss+xml (Registration Being Prepared)[1]
Extended from: XMLRSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated digital content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts.
Users of RSS content use programs called feed "readers" or "aggregators": the user "subscribes" to a feed by supplying to their reader a link to the feed; the reader can then check the user's subscribed feeds to see if any of those feeds have new content since the last time it checked, and if so, retrieve that content and present it to the user.
RSS formats are specified in XML (a generic specification for data formats). RSS delivers its information as an XML file called an "RSS feed," "webfeed," "RSS stream," or "RSS channel".

to read RSS feeds, you need to have RSS feed readers. you can find one at mozilla.org. the sites maintain feeds to update contents quickly.
check for this icon. whenever you see it on any site, it has RSS feed available that can be accessed by using RSS Feed Reader.
