Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are RSS feeds and why or when should I use them?

A: RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS feeds are a way for Web site owners to easily distribute a list of headlines, update notices, and content to a wide number of people on the Web. Most people are interested in many Web sites whose content changes on an unpredictable schedule. Examples of such Web sites are news sites, travel sites, community information pages, medical Web sites, and weblogs. Repeatedly checking each Web site to see if there is any new content can be very tedious.

With new integrated support for RSS in Internet Explorer 7, you can easily discover, subscribe to, and read RSS feeds directly in the browser. You can have personalized sports, news, or shopping feeds delivered directly to you.

In Internet Explorer 7, you can read the feed directly in the browser, scan for important stories and get a description of the content. You can also subscribe to a feed with a single click, a process that is very similar to adding a Web site Favorite.
