What is RSS?

RSS is a way to automatically receive updates whenever new information is posted in a website.It's like having news delivered to your desktop!

As defined by Wikipedia, RSS (acronymic for Really Simple Syndication) is "a group of XML based web-content distribution and republication (Web syndication) formats primarily used by news sites and weblogs (blogs)." Essentially, an RSS feed is a hosted XML file from which your RSS newsreader pulls headlines, URLs, and other content as it is updated.

Need RSS software?

To get started, you'll need to download and install a free RSS newsreader client. Many are available (some as browser extensions); see Google's list. Point your software to RSS feeds of interest, and you're done!
