RSS
-- Short for RDF Site
Summary or Rich Site Summary, an XML format for syndicating Web content. A Web
site that wants to allow other sites to publish some of its content creates an
RSS document and registers the document with an RSS publisher. A user that can
read RSS-distributed content can use the content on a different site.
Syndicated content includes such data as news feeds, events listings, news
stories, headlines, project updates, excerpts from discussion forums or even
corporate information. RSS was originally developed by Netscape.

To use the feeds we've set up below, you need
to use a program called an RSS reader or news aggregator. It runs on your local
computer, regularly goes to a list of Web sites that you specify, and tells you
what the newest content on those sites is.
