What is an RSS Feed? We’ll tell you, plus teach you how to use this new technology to keep up with information in your fields of interest.
RSS saves time. Instead of remembering to visit a favorite Website, the news or information you want comes directly into your computer at whatever interval you want. In addition, most RSS feeds contain only links, headlines, or brief synopses of new information.
