What is RSS?
RSS generally stands for "Really Simple Syndication." It is a mechanism that delivers the latest content from a web site directly to you rather than you having to check the website every day for what's new. RSS delivers a headline, a short summary and a link to the full text on the website, making it easy to keep up-to-date on your favorite websites.
RSS is still relatively new and not all websites provide RSS. Many major news websites such as CNN use RSS as a way to deliver the latest news. Other websites such as Amazon use RSS to announce their bestsellers. In fact, RSS can be used to deliver a great variety of content and content types. On the Cassini website we use RSS to deliver the latest information about images, videos and news coming from the Cassini spacecraft.
How do I get started with RSS?
There are many news readers available. Some are commercial and some are free. One way you can find a news reader to suit you is to do a search on "RSS news readers" in your favorite search engine. Most browsers also offer news readers as part of their new releases.
How do I get started with RSS?
You will need a news reader. Some news readers are integrated with a web browser. Examples of these are Firefox, Opera and Safari. Other new readers are downloadable software that you install. Examples of these are Newz Crawler and FeedDemon. There are also news readers that are free of charge, for example Awasu. RSS feeds can also be added to web based services such as Hotmail and My Yahoo.
