Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a format designed for sharing web content. RSS news feeds are free content feeds that contain headlines, articles and links to websites.They deliver news and features directly to you, so you don’t have to visit each webpage separately and you can request the information when you want it.

To receive and display RSS feeds, you need a newsreader or aggregator. This is a piece of software that checks RSS feeds and lets you read them. There are two possibilities to access RSS news feeds: online by using a browser or on your desktop with a downloadable application.

Many browsers provide integrated support for RSS feeds. With them you can easily bookmark your favourite news feeds and read it online like a website. A list of various browsers is available at the Google Directory. For more details on these functionality and information about your browser, please check their websites.

Special RSS-aware programs running on your desktop are available for various operating systems. After downloading and installing the application software, you can read, organize and archive your favourite RSS news feeds. A list of various newsreaders is available at the Yahoo Directory.
