What's "RSS" and how do I get started?
In a world heaving under the virtual weight of billions of web pages, keeping up with websites can be a chore. RSS feeds let you keep up to date with the latest info on all your favourite sites without having to take the trouble to visit them. In effect, bits of their sites come to you instead.

You already know the web pages you like to visit – you probably have them in your browser's "Favourites". However, it is not easy to tell when they've been updated without visiting each one and checking. Computers, though, can tell when sites have been updated, using a feed.

An RSS feed is usually made up of a number of titles and short summaries of full content on the website that produced the feed. In other words, you can quickly look at the summaries and, at a glance, tell if you want to click through and visit the full version on the website. Plus, your computer will let you know when a new feed is available. And that's what an RSS feed is – a summary of the latest content on a website so that you can see whether there is anything new or interesting available.

So, once you've found one or more RSS feeds you want to subscribe to so you can keep up to date with their content, what's next? What you need is a way of grouping your feeds together and displaying them so you can see them all in one place. There are several ways of doing this, which one you choose really depends on which you find easiest. All the different ways of using feeds usually offer some things in common:

a. a way of subscribing to feeds – pointing to the location, like a website address, where all the up-to-date feed content will be available
b. a way of displaying all the feeds you have subscribed to
c. a way of telling you which feeds have new content in them
d. a way of following links back to the full content on the website

Lots of different companies offer separate downloadable programs (often called 'desktop readers') that will do most of the above and some websites (often called 'web-based readers') and even some web browsers will read and present RSS feeds too.

There are lots of different sites which review and recommend various readers. If you search for "feed finder" or "RSS reader" in your search engine, you will find some of the more popular ones.

An example is: www.google.com/reader (Insite Performance Company does not accept responsibility for the content of external sites).
