These files are not standard web pages although most modern browsers are able to display their contents. It is a way of directing readers only to those parts of the web site that contain new content. Web sites with RSS feeds, such as ours, contain small files that store a list of headlines that link to web pages that have been recently added or updated. It is used both by major news sites, such as the New York Times, CNN, and BBC News, and smaller sites whose pages change much less frequently, such as blogs. It is the name of a new method of keeping track of changing content on the internet, which is rapidly gaining in popularity. RSS stands either for "Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary". These will allow you to track content added specifically to those pages alone. Some pages also show the RSS icons at the bottom, providing other feeds not listed above.
