What is RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML-based format for sharing and distributing Web content, such as news headlines. Using an RSS reader, you can view data feeds from various news sources, including headlines, summaries, and links to full stories.
News Aggregators
RSS/News Aggregators (also called Readers) will download and display RSS feeds for you. A number of free and commercial News Aggregators are available for download. Many aggregators are separate, "stand-alone" programs; other services will let you add RSS feeds to a Web page.
You can also subscribe to an RSS feed using certain web browsers, like Internet Explorer 7, Firefox, and Safari. Some email clients like Outlook 2007 are also able to manage feeds.
