RSS (or Really Simple Syndication) feeds are free content feeds from web sites. They each contain a headline, a short summary, the date of the posting, and links back tothe full content on the web.
What are the benefits of using RSS?
RSS is an easy way for you to be alerted when content that interests you appears on your favorite web sites. Instead of visiting an assortment of web sites to browse for new articles and features, RSS automatically tells you when something new is posted online.
How do I start using RSS feeds?
To start using RSS, you need a special news reader that displays RSS content feeds from web sites you select. There are many different news readers available, most of which are free and it's easy to set them up with a menu of the content that you would like to have pulled into your reader. The following link on Google's site provides access to many of these readers:
