What is RSS?

RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.

Why RSS? Benefits and Reasons for using RSS

RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually. The number of sites offering RSS feeds (http://www.syndic8.com/feedcat.php) is growing rapidly and includes big names like Yahoo news, BBC online etc

Reading RSS

To take advantage of an RSS feed you would use a piece of software called an RSS aggregator. Most of them are very similar to email client programs, but instead of incoming emails, they display news from various sources (from all the feeds you have registered with, or "subscribed to" as is commonly said). Unread news typically appear in bold, just as unread emails do.

An RSS aggregator makes it very convenient to follow up on news from a large number of sources in a single place. Sharpreader is an example of an RSS Reader.

Those on windows vista can also use the windows gadget to display the RSS or MS outlook. Most symbian OS (Nokia for example) support RSS and many others.
