What are RSS Feeds?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a popular standardized file format used for the delivery of up-to-date web-based content. Most (if not all) content websites today offer RSS feeds to their audiences. These RSS feeds allow audience members to receive content updates from websites and view that content through applications called “RSS readers” as well as other interfaces (e.g. in the form of a Blog).
For more information about RSS feeds, enter “RSS” into Google and look at the search results it provides or visit:
How can you access RSS feeds?
The most common way to view RSS feeds on your computer is to use an RSS reader. Once you have an RSS reader setup on your computer, simply copy the RSS feed’s URL and paste it into the appropriate field in your RSS reader.
An alternative to downloading and installing an RSS reader on your computer is to use a Web-based RSS or news reader (e.g. Google Reader) or to add an RSS feed to an existing web-based widget space that you are already using (e.g. the iGoogle personalized web-space).
