What is RSS
RSS (Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary) is a simple, convenient, spam-free method, for tracking frequently updated sites. RSS feeds are available for many news sites, blogs, journal tables of contents and database searches. Each time a site is updated, the new content is sent to your RSS reader. If a web page or site has a feed, you will usually see an icon like one of these somewhere on the page

RSS Feed Readers
RSS Feeds are written in a format known as XML. In order to view these feeds you require an RSS Reader. The reader works with the XML file in the same way that a web browser makes an HTML file understandable. There are many to choose from. Web-based readers tend to have fewer features but have the advantage in that they are accessible from any web browser. The desk-top readers tend to be more robust and customizable, but you are only able to read the feeds on computer that the reader is installed on.
