Using RSS

RSS stands for "really simple syndication" and it was invented by (among other developers) Aaron Swartz, a teenage boy who happened to grow up and invent Reddit and commit suicide when the FCC was prosecuting him for hacking into the database of federally funded schools. He believed (and I think he's damned right) that if our tax dollars fund the research, the school shouldn't be profiting from their publication, the information and finding should be free for all taxpayers to access. Anyway, RSS is a code mechanism that allows a central server to be pinged (notified) when there is new content (like a new article or blog post) on a website.
