RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It's a way of quickly and conveniently tracking the latest updates to your favorite web sites.

In order to read RSS feeds, you need an RSS feed reader. There are two kinds: software readers that run on your computer, and readers that you access over the web.

RSS agregator software

You may already have an RSS feed reader on your computer. The major web browsers have RSS capability built-in. Follow these links for more information:

Firefox 2.0 | RSS info | Sage RSS reader extension
Internet Explorer 7.0 | RSS info
Safari (Mac only) | RSS info

Some e-mail clients like Thunderbird 1.5 also have RSS support. Outlook Express, Eudora, and other popular clients support RSS through third-party add-ons.
