RSS Readers

Today a vast number of websites, weblogs, news sites exists on the net. All these websites regularly updating their content. How can we get this updated content from the websites? RSS Feeds is the answer here.

RSS means really simple syndication. Syndication means distribution. RSS is an XML based format for distributing the web content in websites,weblogs. Not only RSS but also ATOM do the same thing as RSS. Atom is an open source specification(XML based) alternative to RSS. RSS and Atom provide any updates from a website in a simple form.
