What is RSS?
RSS is a Web Content syndication format. Its name is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication. RSS is a standard format (in XML) for delivering content that changes on a regular basis. Content is delivered in small chunks, generally a synopsis, preview, or headline. For additional information on RSS/XML, please go to W3C for a thorough explanation.

How can I use RSS?
There are a number of applications collectively called RSS Newsreaders designed to read, manage and display content from RSS feeds. Some of these are standalone applications; others run in your browser. These applications allow a user to read headlines from dozens or hundreds of news sites at one time, by subscribing or pasting in the addresses of the RSS files you want, such as the ones listed above.
