What is RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) provides a convenient way to gather and quickly browse information from a variety of sources, including press releases, product updates, or changes to a web site. Small amounts of content, called “feeds,” are automatically sent to an RSS reader. Feeds are generally a headline, summary, or preview of the complete content. Through the RSS reader, feeds from various sources can be scanned with the ability to access the complete content relating to any interesting feeds.
How do I get an RSS reader?
In order to access RSS content you must install an RSS reader. There are many different RSS readers available, some available at no cost and some available for a small fee.
