RSS Feed Readers
Description
RSS is a standard for sending frequently updated web content to users. The advantage of RSS feed readers is that updates to your subscribed "channels" are delivered automatically to your RSS news reader in an easy to browse format.
Uses and Potential Benefits
Internet users can quickly read new information from a number of web pages, only seeing new content. Example: program officers might set up their feed readers to pull information from a common set of web and news sites relevant to their program area to easily stay up to date on current events.
