What are RSS feeds?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, or Rich Site Summary. Both mean the same thing. An RSS feed is something a website offers to its visitors so they can get the latest information for that website without actually going to the website. The content from this RSS feed is delivered to an aggregator which displays the information on your desktop, web browser, or favorite email program.

Aggregators (News Readers/Feed Readers)?
A feed aggregator, also known as a feed reader, news reader or simply as an aggregator, is a program the web user installs which aggregates syndicated web content for multiple sources such as news headlines, blogs, podcasts, and vlogs in a single location for easy viewing.
Micosoft recommends various News Readers available for download, which can be found here: Microsoft Windows Recommendations. Apple recommends NetNewsWire.
You may also use a web-based news aggregator like www.live.com which means you won't need to install anything and you can start using RSS feeds immediately.
If you are using Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox 2 you will find a built-in aggregator under the favorites tab in Internet Explorer and Live Bookmarks in Firefox.
