Q: What is an RSS feed? How can I access it?

A: RSS is a specification for the distribution of news and other web content. The advantage of an RSS feed over channels such as email is that RSS allows the news to be accessed on demand, whereas email is a medium which is increasingly suffering from the effects of unsolicited and illegal commercial messages ("spam"). Whereas in the early days of the internet it used to be relatively effective to send news by email, spam is the major phenomenon which is now making this increasingly impractical.

You can think of RSS as "pull", and email as "push". With RSS you only get the news you want from the publishers you decided to "listen" to. And you can aggregate multiple RSS feeds, viewing them in a single list.

RSS data, is not meant to be accessed with a web browser, (this will change when IE7 is release). In order to access an RSS feed you need an RSS reader (RSS client software). RSS readers can conveniently check, aggregate and list news from different sources in a single step.

There are many Reader applications available on the web, most of which are free. I have been using RSS Feeder which intergrates into outlook and I have had no problems with it.
