What is RSS?
It means Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary. It's a way of automatically keeping you updated on RSS sites that you subscribe to rather than you checking them manually. So, with your online newspaper example, new content would be updated automatically when you subscribe to that newspaper (subscribe for free that is), then you can read any updates via an RSS reader like Google Reader rather than visiting the website yourself and finding updates manually.
Reply:Try searching for an "RSS Directory" in the search engine.
