What is RSS?

RSS (which stands for "Really Simple Syndication") makes it possible for you to keep up with your favorite web sites in an automated manner that's easier than checking them manually.  Using a "news aggregator", or "feed reader" you can access feeds from WPMC for free. The aggregator will regularly scan WPMC and alert you when new content is posted.

Users can subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a web browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds.

A "Feed Reader" is required for using Web Feeds. This tool works like an automated e-mail program, but no
e-mail address is needed. The user subscribes to a particular web feed (usually for free), and thereafter receives updated contents, every time updating takes place. Internet Explorer 7.0, Firefox and many other web browsers allow receipts of feeds from the tool bar using Live Bookmarks, Favorites, and other techniques to integrate feed reading into a browser. One of the most popular web-based feed readers at this point is Bloglines, which is also free. Finally, there are desktop-based feed readers. Some commonly used desktop news readers are Feed Demon, Sharp Reader, and NewsGator (an Outlook plugin) for Windows, NetNewsWire , Shrook for Macs and Feed Headlines which coming in Windows Vista.
