Rss Reader

What to do with RSS (RichSiteSummary, ReallySimpleSyndication, RdfSiteSummary)

Suggest this page to be merged into RssFeeds and RssViewer

To monitor RssFeeds, you have several options:

• A standalone program (an RSS reader or RSS aggregator).
• A Web-based RSS aggregator like http://www.bloglines.com.
• A Web browser that understands RSS, either natively or via a plugin. For example, FireFox's LiveBookmarks let you subscribe to and load RssFeeds. There's also an RssReader plugin for FireFox called "Sage".

You add the URLs of feeds to your RSS reader, which polls those feeds periodically and displays their contents. The feeds (typically) contain information about recent articles posted to a site: title, summary, URL, size, etc. For example, WardsWiki offers a feed of RecentChanges, and Wired Online offers a feed of the day's articles. A blog might offer a feed of its ten most recent posts. An RSS reader displays summaries of the articles and lets you load the entire article if it sounds interesting.
