RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is an XML based format that eanbles information to be syndicated (or reproduced) between website applications. RSS has been used to move content between internet applications, for example to aggregate information from a blog, news, business, or community group system.

Onlined social tagging applications, for example, makes it easy for users to consume RSS feeds from content that has been tagged with a particular keyword (e.g. http://del.icio.us/tag/rss). The users is said to 'subscribe' to the RSS, then they wil be able to access the RSS formatted information via an online RSS aggregator (e.g. http://www.bloglines.com) or 'RSS reader' on their desktop computer application, or mobile internet device.

A recent government report on electronic democracy found > Presently, Extensible Markup Language (XML) formats like **RSS 2.0** are increasingly employed across the WWW. News organisations, bloggers, community groups and commercial firms employ this technology to ensure that their information is easily accessible through other websites or desktop news aggregators, and that this information can be updated centrally (by them) to keep their content current. (Parliament of Victoria, 2005, p. 34).

The same report also notes that > News Aggregator ... software ... allows syndicated news content (such as RSS feeds) to be brought together and displayed. Aggregators can be built into web browsers, website management systems or as stand-alone applications. (Parliament of Victoria, 2005, p. 236).
