What is RSS?
RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, including major news sites like Wired, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs. But it's not just for news. Virtually anything that can be broken down into discrete items can be syndicated via RSS, for example, the "recent changes" page of a wiki, a changelog of CVS checkins, even the revision history of a book. Once information about each item is in RSS format, an RSS-aware program can check the feed for changes and react to the changes in an appropriate way.
RSS-aware programs called news readers or news aggregators are popular in the weblogging community. Many weblogs make content available in RSS. A news reader can help you keep up with all your favorite weblogs by checking their RSS feeds and displaying new items from each of them.
How do I access RSS?
There are a number of ways to access RSS feeds. You can install a news reader that displays RSS feeds from the Web sites you select, enabling you to view hundreds of headlines at once. After installing the news reader, you can add each feed manually from the Web site by clicking on the feed's URL.
An alternative to downloading a dedicated news reader is to use a Web-based news reader. For example, My Yahoo!, Google Personalized Home, and SOAPClient users can now add RSS feeds directly to their personal page. Or, you can access RSS feeds through online readers such as Bloglines and NewsFire.
Depending on the services offered by your news reader, you can also access information on the Web through Microsoft Outlook and your mobile phone.
