What is RSS?

RSS (or Really Simple Syndication) feeds are free content updates from Web sites, including eastedisto.com, that contain article headlines, summaries and links back to full-text articles on the web. Using an RSS reader, you can view automatically updated data feeds from multiple news sources in the same place.

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. Several of the newest internet browsers include RSS readers. Additionally, there are many different free news readers available for download to install on your computer. Several Web-based news readers are also available.

Once you have set up your news reader, you simply subscribe to the RSS content feeds you want to receive.

What are the benefits of using RSS?

RSS is an easy way 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. If you visit a lot of websites on a daily basis, or read a lot of weblogs (or "blogs"), a news reader can save you a lot of time.

Using a news reader to consume your web media means that you only need to visit a website when you read a story in your news reader that is of interest to you. You won't have to visit many sites multiple times every day to see if there are updates; your news reader will do that for you and will let you know when there is a new story to be read!
