You may be asking yourself what the idea behind RSS is. The idea is that a programme (a news-reader) retrieves a small text file (a feed) from a website so that you know when the site has been updated. The advantage is that you can read the latest news without having to visit the website. The real benefit is that you can keep up to date with numerous websites.

What is RSS?

RSS is the English acronym for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary. It is an application from XML and is used by websites to make links to articles available for those who are interested.

Websites which offer RSS, write a small piece of XML-code containing the title, a short description and a link to the various articles. At set times, the news-reader compiles and bundles the new articles (the news feed) and sends it to the user.

The big advantage is that, as the reader, you choose in advance which subjects interest you so that you only receive the information you desire.

What do I need in order to make use of RSS?

In order to use RSS you need a special news-reader or ”compiler” which shows the content of the websites you have selected. There are many different news-readers available and they are often free. They are very easily to download and install. There are also various web-based news-readers on the internet.

As soon has you have selected and installed a news-reader, all you need to do is register (free) for the desired sections. On Google you will find an overview of all news-readers that may or may not be free.

What are the advantages of RSS?

RSS is a simple way to stay up-to-date with the most recent information on subjects you have chosen. You don’t need to continually skim through the various websites to see whether any new information has been placed on-line. Thanks to RSS, you are automatically notified if something new appears.
