What is RSS?
RSS, which stands for Really Simple Syndication (or Rich Site Summary or RDF Site Summary, depending on whom you ask), is an XML
format for news or content syndication. Put simply, it brings headlines and summaries to you, as they're published.
How RSS works
You can monitor news, blogs, job listings, personals, and classifieds. More and more sites offer feeds, which you can identify by a small button that says either RSS or XML. However, if you click one of these links, you will most likely get
a page full of code in your browser. To properly read the feed, you need an RSS reader.
How do you get started?
In order to receive RSS/XML feeds you need a computer, an Internet connection, and RSS/XML software.
You can have RSS feeds delivered to you in several different ways:
Via a standalone desktop aggregator. Readers such as Google Desktop, FeedDemon, SharpReader, RssReader,
and NetNewsWire (for Mac OS X) are programs you download to your computer and run independently of other software.
Via your e-mail client.NewsGator
Email Edition plugs into Outlook Express, Eudora, Entourage, Apple Mail, or other POP3 e-mail clients and lets you receive RSS feeds right in your e-mail window. The same company's Outlook
Edition integrates RSS with Microsoft Outlook. And Mozilla's Thunderbird e-mail client comes with RSS-reading capabilities built in.
Via a Web browser.Sage is an RSS add-on to Firefox, while Pluck
