What are RSS feeds?
An RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed (also known as "news feed") is a listing of a Web site's content, and it is updated whenever new content is published to the site. News readers "subscribe" to RSS feeds so that updated stories from one site or multiple sites will appear on a single, designated news reader service.

A news feed might contain a list of story headlines, a list of excerpts from stories, or a list containing each story from the Web site (Olivet's news feeds contain story headlines). All news feeds will link back to the Web site for the full story. Sites like ABCNews.com, ESPN.com, and the New York Times all have syndicated feeds.

If you visit a lot of Web sites on a daily basis, or read a lot of blogs, RSS feeds and news readers can save you a lot of time. You won't have to visit many sites, multiple times every day, to see if there are updates. Your news reader will automatically send you the latest news, and you can click on the stories that are of interest to you!

How do you get started?
In order to make use of an RSS feed, you'll need a news feed reader.

Some commonly used news readers are Feed Demon, Sharp Reader, and NewsGator (an Outlook plugin) for Windows, NetNewsWire and Shrook for Macs.

Also, some web portal sites such as My Yahoo! and Google allow you to subscribe to news feeds so they are automatically inserted into your customized page.

You can find even more news readers at itopik.com.
