About RSS Feeds

What is an RSS Feed?

From Wikipedia: “RSS is a simple XML-based system that allows users to subscribe to their favorite websites. Using RSS, webmasters can put their content into a standardized format, which can be viewed and organized through RSS-aware software or automatically conveyed as new content on another website.“

How do I read these feeds?

All you need is an RSS reader (often called a News Reader), which will check for and inform you of new content received from the RSS feed. There are many products out there including download-able apps and of course web based solutions. Google Reader and Bloglines are just a few of the popular web readers available. They provide a central place for you to quickly scan and read the various feeds you have subscribed to.
