What are RSS feeds?

“RSS” stands for “Real Simple Syndication.” RSS feeds are a way to distribute online content such as blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts. With an RSS feed, you subscribe to a particular website and automatically receive updates via email or a news reader.

You can use RSS feeds to stay updated about new content from many different websites and organizations. You can also use RSS feeds to share news and updates from your organization with clients and colleagues.

Some common RSS readers include GoogleReader Exit Disclaimer, NetVibes Exit Disclaimer, and Bloglines Exit Disclaimer. Tools that will allow you to receive RSS feeds via email include Feedblitz Exit Disclaimer, and ZapTXT Exit Disclaimer.
