RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed for the public.
Why RSS?
When you subscribe to an RSS feed, new content is brought to you. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by going to one place to get all your news rather than having to visit each site individually. You ensure your privacy, by eliminating the need to join each site's email newsletter.
What do I need to do to read an RSS Feed?
RSS Feed Readers and News Aggregators software allow you to grab the RSS feeds from various sites and display them for you to read and use.
A variety of RSS Readers are available for different platforms. Some popular feed readers include Amphetadesk (Windows, Linux, Mac), FeedReader (Windows), and NewsGator (Windows - integrates with Outlook). There are also a number of web-based feed readers available. My Yahoo, Bloglines, and Google Reader are popular web-based feed readers.
