</style>RSS or Really Simple Syndication is a tool for collecting and managing updated information via the internet. The RSS information, or feed, is collected by an application called a reader or aggregator. The user tells the aggregator to keep tabs on specific web pages, blogs, or podcasting sites and when these sites are updated the aggregator alerts the user that new information is available to read.<br/>
RSS readers can be downloaded and loaded on a local computer or they can be an online service like Bloglines. SharpReader is an aggregator that can be installed on a Windows computer and NetWire Lite is available for the Macintosh. Safari 2.0 on the Macintosh can also serve as a RSS reader as can the very popular Firefox browser.<br/>

Once the RSS reader is set up, users must subscribe to a site that offers an RSS feed. Look for either of these icons: Image:xml.jpg or Image:rss.jpg. These icons indicate that the site offers an RSS feed. Click on the icon and a web page will open. Each aggregator may have a specific set of instructions for subscribing to RSS feeds. Usually it amounts to simply Copying the URL of the web page that opened and paste it in your aggregator.<br/>
