What is RSS?
These small xml icons are popping up all over the internet. Clicking on them allows the reader to view a link to the site's RSS (Really Simple Syndication) page and subscribe to them using a
NewsReader. These "feeds" allow the reader to quickly scan headlines and, if interested, view a summary (or in some cases the entire) article. RSS is a very efficient method of reading and sharing information.
Sites can have many RSS feeds, such as
Channel3000 or the
Washington Post. Isthmus's Daily Page has a
feed, as does
WisPolitics.
