RSS Feeds

RSS Feeds are the syndicated information that are sent through RSS technology from websites to Internet users. Users can subscribe to feeds from a variety of websites, and then new information from those websites is sent directly to them through an RSS reader. It is similar to receiving e-mail. An RSS reader acts like an “inbox” for RSS feeds. Instead of having to check multiple websites for updates, the new information is located in one convenient place. The use of RSS feeds has increased as blogging has become more popular.

To begin to collect RSS feeds, you’ll need an RSS reader. Most readers are free and easy to use. Two popular readers are Google Reader (web based, meaning you don’t have to download any software) and SweetieReader∞ (which requires that you download and install a free software program).
