RSS Feeds

An RSS Feed is where you request that information is automatically given to you.

Example:
You have a customised Google page as your home page showing things like BBC news headlines and the weather. You are interested in a Bugatti Veyron and want to know if one comes available on E-Bay. You ask the E-Bay RSS Feed to automatically show all entries for the Veyron on your Google home page. It could be you are waiting some time!!!
