What is RSS?

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an XML-based format for distributing and sharing content over the World Wide Web, such as news, stories, and headlines. When used in conjunction with an RSS reader, one can view data feeds from various news sources, such as the Lake Erie College of Medicine (LECOM), including headlines, story summaries, as well as links to the full stories.
