Introduction: what is RSS?
RSS is a method of publishing headlines, links, and article summaries that appear on Web sites. By using a special news reader or aggregator, you can subscribe to content "feeds" of particular interest, and be notified when new content becomes available on a feed you're subscribed to. It's easiest to explain with a few pictures:

Speed reading the web with RSS, using the free SharpReader RSS aggregator. RSS readers combine a web browser with summary listings of articles and RSS feeds. The left-hand pane shows subscribed newsfeeds. The upper right window shows summary listings of a selected feed or feeds. The lower right-hand window shows the selected web page. (Enlarge view.) Note that SharpReader and similar RSS readers allow you to look at your RSS listings at whatever level of detail you prefer. You can focus on headlines from just one news feed (for example, "uwnews.org | education", or you can easily aggregate many RSS feeds in to a single view by clicking on a category folder in the left hand pane (for example, "News") See this example of a group view.

How is RSS better than regular web browsing?
RSS lets you "speed read" the web by allowing you to focus on topics and articles that are most interesting to you. You can read article summaries before clicking through to a webpage, which allows you to make the most of your browsing time.

RSS readers can also alert you when new content becomes available on RSS feeds that you've subscribed to, much like how e-mail readers notify you when a new message arrives.

What programs do I need?
To get the most out of RSS, you'll need an RSS reader or aggregator, which combines a web browser with a tool that summarizes the content of subscribed newsfeeds.

There are many RSS readers available. Some are installed as applications on your computer, while others can be used through a web browser.

SharpReader RSS Aggregator for Windows computers is easy to use and free. You'll need to get the free .NET framework before installing SharpReader.

RSS readers have also been created as extensions of Mozilla Firefox, a free open-source web browser which is available for Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX computers. The Sage RSS aggregator for Firefox can be downloaded from the project homepage.

RSS readers are also available as web-based tools, similar to how you can read e-mail online through websites like gMail and Hotmail. Bloglines and Feedster are among the more popular web-based RSS readers.
If you maintain a web page, you can set your page up so that it is automatically updated by an RSS feed originating on another computer. You can use RSS to exchange data automatically between several computer systems.

I have a great idea for a new uwnews.org newsfeed. Can I get it listed?
Write the uwnews.org webmaster at kenfine@u.washington.edu to offer suggestions for new newsfeeds. If your idea is of general interest, we'll try to put it in place.
