RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a format for syndicating news.
Many websites including this one, support RSS by adding these pictograms as
to their web pages. So when you see one of these, it just means that you can basically subscribe to that information; kind of like a constant news feed from a source of YOUR choice. This is the way news, in the future, will be for most people. It gives YOU the option to choose what you want news about, and it gets sent to you in your RSS Reader software just as fast as it gets provided by the publisher.
XML and RSS pretty much means the same thing. To get an RSS reader that allows you to read the format in plain language and also allow you to subscribe to a feed, go to www.rss-specifications.com/rss-software.htm and download a reader. There are many to choose from, and most are free. I suggest something simple such as the "RSS Reader". You can find it on this link>>> www.rssreader.com/rssreader.htm.
