What is RSS?

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is web content that can be organized and viewed from a single location using a web browser or news reader.  The web browser or news reader checks the web content for updates at scheduled intervals and notifies the subscriber to read the new information.

Benefits

  • select only the news/updates you want to receive

  • determine how often to check for updates

  • reduces emails from email news groups

  • possibly reduce SPAM emails

 

What is needed to get started?

You will need a RSS news feed reader software installed on your computer.  Some web browsers automatically include the reader or you can use your favorite search engine to find free RSS readers.
