Getting news and event information delivered to your desktop has never been simpler thanks to RSS feeds.
What Is RSS?
RSS is an XML-based format used to syndicate electronic content. That's a fancy way of saying that instead of having to visit a web page to see the latest content, you now have the option of pulling it to your desktop using an "aggregator". The number of news and blogs using RSS feeds to distribute content grows daily. Once you become an RSS subscriber, you will be amazed at the amount of information you can process using feeds.
One of the greatest benefits of subscribing to an RSS feed is your feeds will update themselves whenever new content becomes available. You don't have to visit a specific page and you don't need to give out your e-mail address to receive feeds. You also have complete control; you won't receive feeds that you haven't subscribed to.
How Do I Get Started?
Step 1: Get an Aggregator
Aggregators (also called "readers" or "news readers") download and display RSS feeds. Several freeware and commercial aggregators are available. Aggregators often come with pre-loaded feeds, which can be deleted, from sources such as the New York Times, U.S. News and World Report, Yahoo! News, Wired, etc.
