How do Web sites use RSS?
Many Web sites currently offer RSS feeds. Because they're automated, the feeds keep readers up-to-date without requiring them to subscribe to an e-mail newsletter (or expecting them to remember to visit throughout the day). In effect, RSS feeds allow readers to keep up with a site easily, and allow Web keepers to focus their energy on keeping their sites fresh.

How can I receive RSS feeds?
Desktop software applications known as news readers or aggregators can collect, update and display RSS feeds from a wide variety of sources. A number of news readers are available for you to download, many at no cost. They vary slightly in how they look and act, so you may find yourself testing several before settling on one. Google lists a number of news aggregators that you can download and test in this list of news aggregators. You also can add RSS Feeds to many popular start pages, like MSN, Yahoo and Google, or view them directly through the latest versions of popular web browsers like Internet Explorer and FireFox.
