RSS Feeds

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a quick way to distribute and receive the latest content from websites. RSS feeds automatically bring updated information to one place on your computer so you don't have to visit a website to see what's changed. All you need is an RSS reader, which is already part of many web browsers. You can also subscribe to feeds through web-based services like My Yahoo! and applications dedicated to aggregating RSS feeds.

Web Browser

The easiest way to subscribe to an RSS feed is through a web browser like Firefox, Internet Explorer 7, or Safari.

RSS Readers and Aggregators

If you want to subscribe to a large number of RSS feeds, an application designed specifically to do that may be a better choice.
