What are RSS feeds?

RSS is short for 'really simple syndication'. RSS feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content, without having to visit the website where the feeds are contained. Typical feed content includes news headlines, announcements or new content.

Links to feeds or RSS content are typically represented by the orange feed icon (see left). Certain web browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, automatically check for feeds for you when you visit a website, and display this icon near the web address when they find one. This can make subscribing to feeds much easier.

How do I start using feeds?

Feeds can be viewed through software called RSS readers, feed readers or feed aggregators. There are many different types of these applications and certain web browsers have them.

Web-hosted news readers let you catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, whereas downloadable applications let you store feed subscriptions on your computer.

There are a number of popular feed reader applications that will work on all computer system types:
