What's RSS?

RSS — Really Simple Syndication — uses a technology called XML to deliver headlines and news summaries to your desktop or Web browser. With RSS, you'll know instantly whenever something new appears on our Web site. (An RSS feed is different from a podcast; there is no audio or video in AOPA's RSS feed.) XML is a "language" similar to HTML, the code that tells browsers how to display a Web page. Your RSS reader automatically checks our RSS page to get the latest information.

To subscribe to an RSS feed, you can use an online service like My Yahoo!, Google Fusion, or a number of other services [see "News to your desktop"].

The latest version of the Firefox browser has a function called "Live Bookmarks," which uses RSS feeds to update automatically with the latest content. You can also subscribe directly to RSS feeds with Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7. (Although version 7 has been released to the public, it's a beta version, meaning that there still may be changes to the program to correct issues discovered by mass testing.)

You can also use an RSS reader or news aggregator. Readers and aggregators are available as stand-alone applications or as a plug-in for your browser or e-mail program. They're available as freeware (no cost), shareware (minimal cost), or as commercial software. You can find reviews of many of the most popular readers on c/net.com.

You're in control

Remember, with any RSS feed, you're in control. You can decide which news feeds you subscribe to and turn them off when you want. Most readers also allow you to set how often the reader checks for updated content.

If you want to know more about the technicalities of RSS, you can find more information on Wikipedia.
