A web feed or a news feed is a document that represents recent changes on a web site. The most common web feed formats are RSS and Atom. (Wikipedia entry for web feeds.)
By using programs called news readers, you can keep updated about changes on a web site. There are web-based news readers and standalone news reader programs. If you prefer, you can also read web feeds by incorporating them on customizable “home pages” such as My Yahoo! and the Google Home Page.
