RSS defines how data moves between different websites, web-based applications and your visitors who have RSS news readers. By providing a "common framework" for web content of all kinds, it makes it easy for users and applications that "consume" or aggregate the content to parse it into a useful format and display it in readers, web browsers, or even mobile phones. With RSS on your site, your users can find out automatically when content changes and get email or web-browser updates, depending on their newsreader of choice.
