| RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It is an easy way of keeping track of the updates on your favorite websites. RSS allows a website to inform you every time there are updates. This information is called a “feed”. The feed is delivered directly to your device (e.g. feed reader, mobile phone or PDA), so your inbox is not cluttered with email messages. You can subscribe to RSS feeds from your favorite websites. |

| Do not be alarmed if you see a page of XML codes (see Figure 1) when you click on these buttons. It simply means that your browser does not have a built-in feed reader. Newer browsers like IE 7 or Firefox 2 will automatically render these XML codes into a readable page (see Figure 2).

You can also choose to view the feeds and updates in your “feed-enabled” browser, like IE 7, Firefox 2, Opera 7.5 or Safari 2.0. |
