# Really Simple Syndication
is what it stands for. There's a helpful explanation on the BBC news site somewhere... news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/help/3223484.stm

# depends...
... some things it's best to have in one place. For me it's because i'm a absent minded moron who keeps forgetting to check sites, and i get bored easily :-/

# It's alright if you
just want news headlines or follow a blog or something. You can add them to a personalised Google homepage and have millions of them scrolling away and pretend you've got your finger on the pulse of the beating heart of the internet, like me.

# RSS is cool shit
for providing news stories in a cool form.

Get FireFox and the InfoRSS extension. I use it to keep up to date with the news from the BBC. Alternatively, google is your friend!
