What is RSS?
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" -- it's a format for distributing and gathering content from sources across the Web, including newspapers, magazines, and blogs.

Web publishers use RSS to easily create and distribute news feeds that include links, headlines, and summaries. These news feeds automatically update for you!

News Aggregators (also called news readers) will download and display RSS feeds for you. If you are lucky enough to be using a Mac...just use Safari - RSS feeds will work perfectly. Otherwise, a number of free and commercial News Aggregators are available for download. Popular news readers include:
