What is RSS?

RSS is a popular way to pull in news and information from across the Web. RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" which is an XML-based format for content distribution that includes headlines, summaries and links. RSS-aware programs called news aggregators, also known as news readers or RSS readers, enable you to get the latest headlines, in RSS format, delivered straight to your desktop.

Why use RSS feeds and readers?

RSS and news readers bring you the “latest new” headlines, descriptions and links for all your favorite RSS-friendly websites directly to your desktop. News readers are set to check for new content periodically (usually every hour or every few minutes) so you can get the latest information, decide what you want to read, and then go directly to the articles.

Where can I get an RSS Reader?

There are a wide range of RSS Readers available for most operating systems, and many of them can be downloaded for free. Search “news aggregator or “RSS reader” on Google or Yahoo to locate one to download. Generally, the process for setting up an RSS feed with your RSS Reader involves the following steps. Please refer to your specific RSS Reader’s instructions for configuring an RSS Feed.
