What is RSS? RSS (or Really Simple Syndication) allows people to tune into information sources that interest them. RSS feeds are free content feeds from websites or section(s) of a website, that contain article headlines and summaries that link back to the full text of the articles on the web.What are the benefits of using RSS? RSS is an easy way for you to be alerted when content that interests you appears on your favorite Web sites. Instead of visiting a particular Web site to browse for new articles and features, RSS automatically tells you when something new is posted online.
What tools do I need to use RSS? To start using RSS, you need a special newsreader or aggregator that displays RSS content feeds from Web sites you select. There are many different newsreaders available, many of which are free of charge.
