Rich Site Summaries (RSS) creates a news wire for the internet. Typically a small orange box will indicate if RSS is available. In most cases special software is needed, a news aggregator and some of the web browsers have built in software for the RSS. Some of the software available allows you to personalize what you receive, and when you recieve it. NewsIsFree is software that you can register for, this allows you to select which sites will appear at the top, headlines will appear on one or more pages. Personally feel that you really need to have the time to read all the updates sent to by way of RSS. Signing up for to many of the sites would keep your mailbox full, so be selctive.
