RSS standards for Real Simple Syndication. It's a way of following new stuff on a website without having to actually visit the site itself. Instead of visiting multiple sites, you use an RSS reader which collects the new information from whichever sites you tell it to monitor. They're really simple to use and make it easier to stay on top of things!
