What is RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndicate) is an XML format designed for sharing web content. An RSS service (also known as an RSS channel) consists of a list of items, each of which contains a headline, description of article or discussion, and a link to the full article or discussion online.
How do I use RSS?
If you are interested in receiving the latest cancer news articles and information through an RSS feed, you will need a special RSS news reader or aggregator that will allow you to collect and display RSS services. RSS news readers typically allow you to view the service in a friendly way and will automatically update your news list from the RSS service.
There are many different readers available, and several of them are free. Most readers are applications that you download and install on your computer. Other RSS readers may be web-based services that you sign-up for.
New RSS readers are being developed every day. Here is a list of some of the more popular readers:
- NewsGator
- FeedDemon
- Pluck RSS Reader
- FeedReader
