Using an RSS reader, you can view data feeds from various news sources, including headlines, summaries, links to full stories.To start using RSS, you need a special news reader or aggregator that displays RSS content feeds from Web sites you select. There are many different news readers available, many of which are free of charge. Many are available as desktop software that you download and install on your computer ie Newsgator. Several Web-based news readers such as Google, Bloglines and Yahoo, are available as well. These have the added advantage of not tying you down to using a machine which has the software installed.
