RSS or Rich Site Summary allows you to see when your favourite sites on the internet have added new content. You can get the latest news headlines, articles or betting odds in one place as soon as they are published without having to visit each individual site.
RSS feeds are just a special kind of web page designed to be read by computers rather than people. They can even include audio files, photographs or videos.
To start using RSS feeds you need a piece of software called a news reader. This software checks RSS feeds and lets you read any new articles that have been added to them. There are many different types of news reader, some of which are downloadable applications while others can be accessed through your internet browser. Browser based readers allow you to see your RSS feeds from any computer at any time.
