RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, permits you to
have updates of web content delivered directly to your computer
and other web-enabled devices. Using files, commonly referred to
as feeds, RSS typically provides recent headlines, short summaries
and links to news articles.
In most cases, in order to access RSS, you will need a special
news reader or aggregator. The reader lets you gather the feeds
that interest you into a single place and have it update automatically
when new information is published. It is a fast and efficient way
to access multiple news sources without having to visit many different
web sites.
There are many RSS readers, both web and software-based, that are
available for free. Some popular, free browser-based RSS aggregators
include Bloglines, Google
Reader, and My Yahoo. If
you would like to use a software product please check with your
computer support team about compatibility with your operating system.
