How can I use RSS?
Typical
applications for consuming, viewing, or using RSS include:- Using
a program known as a "news
aggregator" to collect, update, and display RSS feeds.
News
aggregators (also called news readers) download and
display RSS
feeds for you. A number of free and commercial news
aggregators are
available for download. Popular news readers include
AmphetaDesk,
NetNewsWire, and Radio Userland. Many
aggregators are separate, "stand-alone" programs such
as those
listed above; other services let you add RSS feeds
to a Web page. For
example, You can add RSS feeds to your My
Yahoo! page. - Incorporating RSS feeds into weblogs
Another
way many people use RSS feeds is by incorporating content
into
weblogs, or "blogs". Blogs are web pages comprised
of usually short,
frequently-updated items and web links. Blogging as
a publishing tool is
used for many purposes: traditional journalism, personal
journals, group
discussions around a topic, and many combinations in-between.
