What is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML-based format for sharing and distributing Web content, such as news headlines, summaries, links to full stories.

What is an RSS News Feed?

An RSS news feed is a list of topics which is made available from a web site, using RSS. To read the feed, the user installs a newsreader and enters the URL for the news feed. RSS news feeds are a replacement for email newsletters. Eventually, everyone will be reading their news via an RSS news aggregator.

This way you have full control on what you will receive, without the need for visiting web-sites. The RSS way of reading news also helps to protect you from spam, because you can keep your email address private.

How do I access RSS?

RSS/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. Yahoo! users can add RSS feeds to your My Yahoo! page.
