RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. Basically it boils down a webpage to it’s elements, like text and title, and removes all the unneccesary fat, like pictures and ads. Then an RSS reader like Google Reader takes the pages whose RSS feeds you have subscribed to, and it searches for new content. Every time you visit your Google Reader you will see new content, like new job listings in your search queary, pour in like they were emails.
