What is RSS?

 

RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering summaries of regularly

changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online

publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.

Why RSS? Benefits and Reasons for using RSS

RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to

easily stay informed by retrieving summaries of the latest content from the

sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site

individually. You ensure your privacy, by not needing to join each site's

email newsletter. The number of sites offering RSS feeds is growing rapidly

and includes big names like News and Amazon.com.

What do I need to do to read an RSS Feed? RSS Feed Readers and News

Aggregators

Feed Reader or News Aggregator 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).

 

Once you have your Feed Reader, it is a matter of finding sites that

syndicate content and adding their RSS feed to the list of feeds your Feed

Reader checks. Many sites display a small icon with the acronyms RSS, XML,

or RDF to let you know a feed is available.
