RSS stands for RDF Site Summary, a format for the diffusion of content through the Web. From a technical point of view, RSS is based on the XML mark up language, well known for being the “foundation stone” on which the present Web could rise, separating content from presentation and graphical aspects. The RSS technology has as its fundamental aim the feeding on the Web of headlines of articles, news, links and, more generally, any sort of “what’s new” of any site. It works as a kind of “announcement” that some new content has been added on a certain site. Blogs combine perfectly with RSS: each blog is equipped in fact with its RSS system that make it possible to keep up-to-date with the new articles that have been posted, without any need of visiting the Website directly. An alternative interpretation of the acronym RSS is really simple syndication: the term syndication is borrowed from the press (it would stand for “diffusion through a press office”). Leaving aside definitions and interpretations, the fundamental element is the means to disseminate “What’s new” on different Web sites.
