Frequently Asked Questions
What is RSS Feed?
Given the vast number of Web pages and content providers on the Internet,
RSS technology allows you to identify the content that interests you most
and have it delivered directly to your desktop. Thousands of sites have
developed feeds and you can view them all, regardless of source, using
any feed reader. The most popular and descriptive definition of RSS is "Really
Simple Syndication." You can think of a Web site's feed as a text
broadcast of the site's content. Once you subscribe to a feed, you'll
always have the latest headlines because your RSS reader periodically
retrieves the most recent feed additions.
