news feed

Spelled as two words, it refers to RSS, a technology that allows you to see when Web sites have added new content. For example on a news Web site, you can subscribe to the news feed and get the latest headlines and video in one place, as soon as its published. On a social networking site for example, feeds highlight what's happening in your social circles, and on Twitter for example, feeds display what your followers are posting.

Spelled as one word, this refers to a news source that transfers newsgroups to ISPs, over the Internet or other computer networks.
