RSS feed

RSS is short for Really Simple Syndication. It's an XML file that can be
read by special feed reading software or a web service you can use from your
web browser. Put the address of one of our RSS feeds into your reader, and
it will display the latest headlines, each one with a synopsis and link that
will take you to the full story.
That means you can stay in touch with many different sources of news and
information. It's quicker than revisiting a site several times a day to
check for updates, and rather than having to look for new headlines, feed
readers scan for updates and display them for you.
