Q: What the heck is an RSS thingy?

[pokemon_master]

I hear this RSS thingy can keep you update to date with certain news items on websites without looking them up manually. Problem is, I have no idea what the thing is!

Can someone explain what it is, how I can get one and what's the best one to download?

Not sure what one to download - but this should give some info.

Thanks, but I got even more confused by that...

Ditto as above.

Second definition on this page may help, but generally I'm as bemused as everyone else!
