Well since this site focuses on RSS Feeds or RSS Readers, I might as well explain in the most basic term on what RSS actually is. Now I didn't do any in depth research on RSS history, but I'll just explain it in my own words.
Previously bookmarking is pretty common while surfing or browsing. Whenever you like a site, you simply bookmark it or CTRL-D. But this method is not really good in bookmarking as when you reformat your PC or use another PC, you simply looses all your bookmarks.
RSS Readers on the other hand, can remember what you have saved in the reader. For example, there are lots of services out there that you can use as your reader. These are
1. Bloglines
2. FireFox
3. Netvibes
Whenever you save a RSS on one of these readers, it stays in the system. I use Netvibes for example and I like it very much. Whenever I log in to my account, all the RSS feeds will pop out.
It's really a great tool to look at the site's latest updates without really visiting it. It saves you time and it's easy to use.
So there you go!
