| What tools do I need to use RSS? |
|
To start using RSS, you need a special news reader or aggregator that
displays RSS content feeds from Web sites you select. There are many different
news readers available, many of which are free of charge. Most are available as
desktop software that you download and install on your computer. Here are a
selected few that we tested our feeds with and that you may find useful:
SharpReader
FeedReader
AmphetaDesk
NewsGator
RssReader (It needs
Microsoft .NET framework)
List of news readers (Yahoo)
List of news readers (Google)
Once you have set up your news reader, you simply subscribe to the RSS
content feeds you want.

| What are the benefits of using RSS? |
|
RSS is an easy way for you to be alerted when content that
interests you appears on your favorite Web sites. Instead of visiting a
particular Web site to browse for new articles and features, RSS automatically
tells you when something new is posted online. Click on the section title link
to obtain the RSS URL, which you will see in the "Address" field of of your
browser. Simply copy this URL and follow the instructions for your particular
news reader to subscribe.
