What is RSS?
RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication and is a means for distributing content, most typically in the
form of news headlines, across the web. It follows an XML formatting standard which makes it easy to
distribute across multiple platforms and integrate into a variety of applications. Via RSS, news
headlines from multiple sources can be easily linked to, viewed, and distributed in a variety of ways.
What is a RSS Reader/Aggregator?
RSS News Readers (or RSS Aggregators) manage the retrieval and display of RSS feeds. Some are
separate applications while others are accesed via the web. Most modern web browsers have an
integrated RSS reader. Many stand-alone RSS News Readers are available. Some are free
(such as Google Reader,
Net Newswire Lite, or
Mozilla's Thunderbird) while
others are sold commercially.
