What is RSS?

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication". It is an XML-based format for distributing and gathering content from sources across the Web, including newspapers, magazines, and blogs.

Web publishers use RSS to create and distribute news feeds that include links, headlines, and summaries.  The feeds are updated automatically as new information become available.

How can I use RSS?

News readers or browsers which support RSS will download and display RSS feeds for you. A number of free and commercial readers are available for download.
