    You can subscribe to web content that has RSS, or really simple syndication,
    which is used to publish frequently updated information. Blogs, news feeds
    and iTunes all have RSS. Subscribing to RSS allows readers to easily collect
    web content rather than searching for it.                                    RSS symbol
