How I Use It: iGoogle, RSS feeds and aggregators

GraphicWould not it be useful if you could pull relevant information of interest to you from the Internet rather than being bombarded with a wide variety of material, varying in usefulness? RSS (RDF Site Summary also known as Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary) allows you to tailor the display of up-to-date web-based content to your needs on one site. This allows you to become much more efficient in harnessing the Internet rather than visiting separate sites to review new information.

Many different sites syndicate their content as an RSS feed and this can be displayed using an RSS reader or aggregator. Once you have set-up a reader, all you then need to do is identify sites that syndicate their content. This is often indicated by the symbol below. Although this can take a little time to set up, it does save significant amounts of time later and allows you to regularly check for updates on your favourite sites very quickly. If you then want more detailed information, you can click on the headline displayed in the RSS feed to take you to the page from which the feed is generated.
