With the wide-spread use of the web and resulting mountains of information, RSS allows you to consolidate disparate information into a single place. RSS Feeds, or summaries, provide titles, short descriptions and other useful information, along with a link back to the site. Additionaly, RSS feeds are updated automatically. How to Subscribe To receive regular RSS updates, you will need a special aggregator. There are numerious free aggregators to choose from. Google Reader or MyYahoo are easy to use and integrate with your preferred web browser.
