What Is RSS?
RSS stands for "Rich Site Summary," "RDF Site Summary,"
or "Really
Simple Syndication," according to different sources. Whatever the
initials
stand for, RSS is a format based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language) that is
increasingly
popular for gathering and distributing Web content such as news headlines.
An RSS feed is simply a file that conforms to RSS format. Many sites
now publish RSS news feeds, including major news organizations such
as Reuters and the Associated Press.
How to Read an RSS News Feed
If you want to receive
news
from RSS
feeds,
you need a news aggregator -- also called a "feed reader" or
"RSS aggregator." A news aggregator can be a program or an extension
to your Web browser or email program, and there
are
many
of them available. A news aggregator makes it much easier for you to follow
the news that interests you. It automatically displays the updates
published by your selected news sources so that you don't have to check each
source's
Web site
separately.
