RSS . . .
What is RSS?
 RSS is an acronym for either "Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary." Whichever the case, it is a format for disseminating discrete news bits to an online audience. Think of it as a website's "What's New" page that comes to you.
It's the best way to keep up with the latest stories and pictures without having to visit a website to do it. Once you subscribe to the "feed," the content comes to your RSS-aware browser, news aggregator or feed reader (software that checks a list of feeds and displays any updated articles that it finds).
If I've got access to the Internet, what's the point of RSS?
RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving summaries of the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually. You ensure your privacy, by not needing to join each site's email newsletter.
What do I need to read an RSS feed?
Special software allows you to grab the RSS feeds from your favorite sites and to read them at your leisure. A variety of RSS Readers are available for different platforms. Some popular feed readers include Amphetadesk (Windows, Linux, Mac), FeedReader (Windows), NewsGator (Windows; integrates with Outlook), NetNewsWire Lite (Mac).
