You need an RSS reader and you also need the link to the RSS feed of the site you like. You also need to install some software –called a ‘news aggregator’ or ‘RSS reader’- to be able to read the feeds. When you find an RSS feed for a site you like, you must subscribe to the feed in order to get the latest news (or whatever the most recent additions to the website are) automatically into your RSS reader. You can usually identify the feeds by looking for a little orange box or link that says ‘RSS’, ‘XML’ or ‘Syndicate this site’. More and more websites are offering RSS feeds. RSS also allows you to syndicate content from many The possibility to decide what content interests you before visiting particular pages is also a great advantage when your connectivity is slow or costly. So instead of having to actively go and visit the sites of your interest to find out if there are any updates, the RSS alerts you when a website has been updated without you having to do anything. It is a way for people who publish content on-line to notify potential readers that new content is made available. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary.
