In a nutshell, a web feed is a way for online venues to continuously “feed” you announcements of their latest content, with links to each new content item. To instantly learn what's new on a site, just check its feed. When you're trying to follow developments at multiple sites, your time savings can be huge.
More importantly, web feeds are spam-proof. Feed Reader or News Aggregator software allow you to grab the RSS feeds from various sites and display them for you to read and use.
RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving summaries of the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually. You ensure your privacy, by not needing to join each site's email newsletter.
To read web feeds (often called RSS feeds), you need a software tool called a FeedReader (also called a news reader or an aggregator ).
Feed readers are available for every kind of computer platform and operating system. They offer a wide range of features and interfaces. Most are inexpensively priced, and many others are free.
I recommend trying out a few to find the one that suits you best. If it sounds complicated, try it once to see how easy it really is. Don't become perplexed and frustrated (like I did) when you encounter the ugly
web feed code, it's not really too hard. Really.
