An RSS feed is basically a bunch of xml created by marketers for the purpose
of further spamming up the Internet and making lots of money by selling
seminars that -- tell people how to create RSS feeds!
Really, in a nutshell, its just a bunch of Xml that contains titles, http
links and descriptions of content on a site. Most commonly you would subcribe
to these in My Yahoo!, My Msn, Google customized home page, My AOL, Bloglines
and other tools.
The XML gets transformed into readable entries on a web page.
