Didn't know what it exactly was before, this video is very helpful, i felt like being taught in KG on how to sign up for RSS feeds!
I signed up for the economist, the national and gulfnews, but didn't find that icon or anything about RSS feeds on BBC website.
Help please?

I think this video shows us in a simple way how to save time and effort to welcome news in our home!

I also like how he throws the papers out of his board :P

more information:

The initials "RSS" are used to refer to the following formats:

Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91)
RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9 and 1.0)
Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)


History
The RSS formats were preceded by several attempts at web syndication that did not achieve widespread popularity. The basic idea of restructuring information about websites goes back to as early as 1995, when Ramanathan V. Guha and others in Apple Computer's Advanced Technology Group developed the Meta Content Framework.[7] For a more detailed discussion of these early developments, see the history of web syndication technology.
