As the name "Rich Site Summary" suggest that the RSS Feed is the summary of the actual content, without overwhelming the reader with superfluous details. If the reader is interested and wants additional information they can click on the item in the feed to accessing the website which contains additional details about that feed Item, RSS readers aggregate multiple feeds, making it easy for individuals to quickly scan information contained within each feed. Feeds are generally themed, allowing users to opt-in for the feeds that are of interest to them.
