RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a format (IIRC developed bei
Netscape) that allows easy web content syndication. It is based on XML.

It's structure allows to use an RSS Feed from a website to display it's
content (links, short descriptions, etc) on an external page or using a
small program.

Many news pages have RSS Feeds that allow you to get a quick view over
the headlines using a small program or script (I have about 10 Feeds in
my browsers sidebar)
