What is RSS?
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication"
-- it's a format for distributing and gathering
content from sources across the Web, including newspapers,
magazines, and blogs.
Web publishers use RSS to easily create and distribute
news feeds that include links, headlines, and summaries.
CNN and CNET News are among the many sites that
now deliver updated online content via RSS.
Singersroom.com offers several RSS feeds you
can read using third-party RSS news reader software.

How can I use RSS?
Typical applications for consuming or using RSS
include:
News Aggregators (also called news readers) will
download and display RSS feeds for you. A number
of free and commercial News Aggregators are available
for download. Popular news readers include AmphetaDesk
and NetNewsWire.
Many aggregators are separate, "stand-alone"
programs such as those listed above; other services
will let you add RSS feeds to a Web page.
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.
