Frequently Asked Questions

What is RSS?
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. While the two accepted technical definitions of RSS are "RDF Site Summary" and "Rich Site Summary," the most popular and descriptive definition is "Really Simple Syndication." You can think of a Web site's RSS feed as a text broadcast of the site's content. And you will always have the latest headlines because your RSS reader periodically retrieves the most recent RSS feed additions.

Where can I access an RSS reader?
There are many kinds of readers, from stand-alone applications (free and for-fee) to those built in to a Web browser. (Browsers such as Firefox and Opera have RSS subscription options already integrated.) You will either need to download and install an application or install an RSS-ready browser on your computer. Most of the applications are free and easy to download and install. Some of the more popular RSS readers:

My Yahoo! (Online, Free)
My MSN (Online, Free)
