RSS Feeds are a relatively new technology that allow you to easily stay current on any updates to sites that offer RSS Subscriptions. Anytime an update is made (i.e. a new "blog" or a new newsletter is posted) you can receive notice of it. You can receive the title of the newest post, a brief description of it and even a link that takes you to the full article. It's complete Content-On-Demand.
There are many ways to receive RSS Feeds from websites that offer them, but first you need a News Reader or "Aggregator." This instructional website provides information regarding two popular RSS News Readers to which you can subscribe for FREE: Firefox and Google Reader.
Please choose the method of RSS Aggregation that you would like to learn about below:
- Mozilla Firefox
- Mozilla Firefox is the leading contender with Microsoft Internet Explorer, the most used browser on the entire planet. Mozilla Firefox comes with RSS Reading functionality built right in. If you use Firefox (completely for FREE), and would like to read RSS Feeds through it, please choose this option.
- Google Reader
- Google Reader is a very popular, entirely online (i.e. browser-based) RSS Reader that works for any major browser on the market. If you use Internet Explorer (or any other web browser) and would like to use Google Reader's FREE RSS Feed Reader, please choose this option.
