RSS/News Aggregators (also called Readers) will download and display RSS feeds for you. A number of free and commercial News Aggregators are available for download.
Many aggregators are separate, "stand-alone" programs; other services will let you add RSS feeds to a Web page. Yahoo! users can add RSS feeds to your My Yahoo! page; to make this easier, you can click on the "Add to My Yahoo!" button to the right of each link above.

RSS, which is a flavor of XML specifically designed for the syndication of Web content. You can find out lots more about RSS at UserLand.

We invite any site with a genuine interest in information technology issues to use our feed. They shouldn't be altered to remove any information (including, of course, the source information and our logo). We reserve the right to request that a site remove a feed if we feel it is being used inappropriately.

You'll need software to process and parse the data so it displays properly within a Web browser (without it, all your users will see is raw XML.

There are numerous RSS-reading desktop applications available, including Amphetadesk, Feedreader, Headline Viewer and Net Newswire (Mac OS X).

Firefox has a very nice feature: Live Bookmarks. With Live Bookmarks you can see the item titles of an RSS feed ("headlines") in your bookmarks. This way you can stay in touch with sites without visiting them all the time. When you visit a site and you see the orange RSS icon in the bottom right part of the Firefox browser window (the status bar), you can add the feed(s) by clicking the RSS icon and subscribing to it. The Add Bookmark dialog appears and you can add the Live Bookmark. You can add the Live bookmarks to the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder so you can have a quick peek at recent events with just one mouse click. If a site has an RSS feed, but the orange icon doesn't show up, you can add the feed manually. Select "New Live Bookmark..." in the Bookmarks Manager and enter the URL and other information of the feed.

Another way many people use RSS feeds is by incorporating content into weblogs, or "blogs". Blogs are web pages comprised of usually short, frequently updated items and web links. Blogging as a publishing tool is used for many purposes: traditional journalism, personal journals, group discussions around a topic, and many combinations in-between.
