What is RSS?
RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication” and it is a means for more easily distributing information. Often called a “news feed”, it is a simple list of new articles that you can get to quickly and easily without having to click through a web site. When a new article is added to this web site, the RSS news feed is updated automatically, and the news is delivered instantly to subscribers.

NetNewsWire Lite RSS Reader interface
When a user subscribes to a news feed, a news reader is required. Firefox has the capability built-in, though it may call it a “live bookmark.” Safari also has the feature built-in. Other RSS readers are stand-alone software applications like NetNewsWire on the Macintosh, or RSSOwl on Windows.
