What is RSS?
News feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content. You can get the latest headlines in one place. The information is available to you as soon as its published, without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.

The information in these "feeds" can be in the form of headlines, summaries, or podcasts. Feeds are sometimes referred to as RSS,"Really Simple Syndication". In essence, the feeds themselves are just web pages, designed to be read by computers rather than people.

RSS/News Aggregators:
To view the headlines, add the feed to an RSS/News Aggregators (also called a reader), or to a browser that supports RSS feeds. An RSS reader will download and display RSS feeds for you. A number of free and commercial RSS readers are available for download, including Amphetadesk for Windows, Mac, Linux; Feedreader for Windows; and NewsFire for Mac OS.

Many aggregators are separate, "stand-alone" programs; other services will let you add RSS feeds to a Web page. 

Live Bookmarks:
The Firefox browser supports Live Bookmarks, a system that detects RSS feeds and allows users to subscribe. Look for this icon in the bottom right corner of your browser, and click on it to subscribe. Feeds will appear in your Bookmarks list. wkno offers Live Bookmarks on all program and topic pages.
