About RSS Feeds

What is RSS?
RSS feeds provide a title and short description of items on a website with a link to the full version of the content.

How can it help me?
RSS feeds are an efficient way to keep track of changing content on a website without constantly checking the site for new material. Feeds are delivered to your desktop or browser by means of a "feed reader" in which new items can be easily scanned for items of interest.

What do I need to use RSS Feeds?
To use RSS feeds, you will need a feed reader. Many free feed readers are available for download on the Internet. These include stand alone readers that you keep on your desktop, such as FeedReader for Windows; browser features or extensions such as Pluck for Internet Explorer, Sage for Firefox or the reader included in the latest version of Opera; and web-based readers such as Bloglines.

For more options, see Google's list of RSS Feed Readers.
