RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication". It is an XML based format used for content distribution and syndication. Subscribing to RSS Feeds allows you to receive custom and up-to-date information from your favorite online content sources, without having to regularly check the site for updates. For example, you can subscribe to "Most Viewed presentations" on authorSTREAM. You can then view them all in your RSS Reader (that displays RSS feeds from the websites you specify). You can either download a dedicated reader, or you can also use web based reader.

authorSTREAM offers various kinds of RSS feeds, subscribing to which you can receive custom up-to-date information from your favorite slideshow sources without having to regularly check the site for updates.
