| Frequently Asked Questions About RSS |
What is RSS? |
In a world heaving under the weight of billions of web pages, keeping up to date with the information you want can be a drag.
Wouldn't it be better to have the latest news and features delivered directly to you, rather than clicking from site to site? Well now you can, thanks to a very clever service, RSS.
There is some discussion as to what RSS stands for, but the majority plump for 'Really Simple Syndication'. Put plainly, it allows you to identify the content you like and have it delivered directly to you.
It takes the hassle out of staying up-to-date, by showing you the very latest information that you are interested in.
Not all websites currently provide RSS, but it is growing rapidly in popularity and many others, including the Guardian, New York Times and CNN do provide it.

| What are the benefits of using RSS? |
| RSS is an easy way for you to check when content that interests you has been published on your favourite websites, keeping you up-to-date without you having to always go back to the sites. So, instead of visiting a particular website to browse for new articles and features, you can check the RSS feed to see whether something new has been posted online. Some readers prefer RSS to email newsletters because you decide when you want to check on the latest news. |
