Most news readers are accessed through a browser or via a downloadable application.īrowser-based news readers let you catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, whereas downloadable applications let your store them on your main computer in the same way that you either download your e-mail using Outlook, or keep it on a web-based service like Hotmail. This is a piece of software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new articles that have been added. In general the first thing you need is a ‘news reader’.
In essence, RSS feeds are just webpages, designed to be read by computers rather than people. There is some discussion as to what RSS stands for, but it is generally accepted to be ‘Really Simple Syndication’. You can get the latest news without having to visit the websites themselves. RSS allows you to see when websites have added new content.
