RSS or real simple syndication was one of the Online News Association buzzwords in Los Angeles at the conference. I have done overviews, introductions, and How-to's for our faculty on two occasions, but I don't think a single person has tried it out, or set up feeds.

Now I am using bloglines because it features one of those menu bar tools you drag to your browser. Now when I find a site that I want to see feeds from, I just click on bloglines, and if the site has an RSS feed, it gets added to my bloglines. This is a pull program because you choose when you want to view the feeds. Here is a simple explanation and guide to using RSS News Aggregator programs and getting feeds set up.
