What is RSS?
RSS or Rich Site Syndication (also 'Really Simple Syndication) feeds are free
content feeds from web sites that contain headlines, summaries and links to the
full page on the web site.
How do I use RSS?
Special news readers, called 'news aggregators' are required for you to be able
to use RSS feeds. We do not endorse a particular reader, you can locate RSS
readers via web search engines such as
Google or
Yahoo. There are also several reviews of the various news aggregators
available.
Why use RSS?
RSS is an easy way to gather a wide variety of content in one place on your
computer. Rather than having to visit many web sites to find out if there is
new content, the RSS agregator shows it all to you in one screen. Many RSS
readers also 'alert' you when new content from your favorite web site is
delivered. RSS also has the potential for replacing email lists.
