FAQs:

What is RSS?
RSS, sometimes known as Really Simple Syndication, is a popular means of sharing content (such as news headlines) without requiring readers to constantly visit a Web site to see what's new. RSS feeds contain headlines and hyperlinks to longer articles or Web pages.

How can I receive RSS feeds?
Desktop software applications known as news readers or aggregators can collect, update and display RSS feeds from a wide variety of sources. A number of news readers are available for you to download, many at no cost. Other versions are Web and browser-based. News readers vary slightly in how they look and act, so you may find yourself testing several before settling on one.

What is news aggregators?
News aggregators are software programs that enable users to view RSS channels quickly and easily. A news aggregator, often hidden in your Windows taskbar, periodically checks each RSS channel to which you are subscribed to see if new news items have been published, and displays the results. Companies like Microsoft are already integrating news aggregating technology into their products. Some popular news aggregators include:FeedDemon(http://www.feeddemon.com) & NewsGator(http://www.newsgator.com).

What is the difference between news aggregators and feed readers?
News aggregators and RSS feed readers are essentially the same thing; both allow for viewing RSS feeds. News aggregators are designed specifically to view news related feeds but technically they can read any feeds.
