What are RSS Feeds?

RSS stands for Rich Site Summary, or for Really Simple Syndication. Both mean the same thing, so don't let it confuse you. RSS is an XML document a website (or a blog) offers readers to provide a "news feed" of their information. It's available for anyone to add to their own "news reader" for free and is continually updated as new information is available.

It works almost like a stock ticker, delivering exactly the information that you have anonymously "subscribed" to, eliminating the need to go out and check your favorite outlets for new information, because they're already delivered to your computer.

Who needs RSS?

Well, anyone can use it. It's so much more efficient than going to get it, especially if you want to save time looking for stories on particular topics. Using RSS, those individual stories can be delivered directly and automatically to your desktop.

Where can I get a News Reader?

A news reader, or aggregator, is the tool used to read and/or notify you of newly available information. There are a number of readers available, each offering different, yet similar, options, and many are free. Many news readers are applications that you download and install, while others are web-based, allowing you sign-up for that feed inside your browser. To find one, visit Google's list of News Readers or Yahoo's RSS resource page.
