The Theory

Here's the blab for all those really newbies. Mainly taken from Wikipedia.

What is web syndication?

Web syndication is a form of syndication in which a section of a website is made available for other sites to use. This could be simply by licensing the content so that other people can use it; however, in general, web syndication refers to making Web feeds available from a site in order to provide other people with a summary of the website's recently added content (for example, the latest news or forum posts).

What is web feed? 
 
A web feed is a data format used for serving users frequently updated content. Content distributors syndicate a web feed, thereby allowing users to subscribe to it. Making a collection of web feeds accessible in one spot is known as aggregation.
 
What are RSS and ATOM?
 
RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated digital content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts. Atom is very similar.
 
What are aggregators? 
 
An aggregator or news aggregator or feed reader is client software that uses a web feed to retrieve syndicated web content such as weblogs, podcasts, vlogs, and mainstream mass media websites, or in the case of a search aggregator, a customized set of search results.
