Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a method for sharing headlines and other Web content.
RSS provides a method for gathering and distributing news by allowing information to be sent to you.
The RSS format is used to allow people to subscribe using their RSS readers. You've probably seen plenty of sites that have RSS or XML graphics next to articles. Those icons indicate that you can subscribe to that site's RSS feed.
When a website has an RSS feed, it is said to be "syndicated."
The RSS reader keeps an eye on all the feeds to which you have subscribed. Whenever new content is posted from one of these sites, your reader displays the new headlines. Browse the headlines of your favorite sources of information and if one is particularly interesting you can click to get details or click through to site and read the entire article. RSS feeds are updated continuously and so as new information is released, a cursory glance at running headlines keeps you in the loop. With an RSS reader you can simply delete an address from the RSS reader and the information from that content provider is no longer delivered.
Finding and Subscribing to RSS Feeds
Once you're set up with an RSS reader it's time to tell the reader what sites/feeds you'd like to follow. Of course you can add feeds manually as you encounter RSS links off you're favorite websites, but you can also find interesting feeds from searching for RSS search engines in your favorite search engine.
Our RSS indicators are usually placed on pages which have regularly changing content. Look for our RSS icon
at the bottom of the page.
