What is RSS?

RSS is an XML-based format for sharing and distributing Web content. Using an RSS reader, you can view data feeds from various news sources, such as sci.esa.int.

Accessing RSS

RSS/News Aggregators download and display RSS feeds for you. There are many cross-platform and cross-browser applications available. Follow the link on the right to see a full Google listing of readers. Many applications are separate programs; others are part of your web browser. Yahoo! users can add RSS feeds to their My Yahoo! page.
