What is RSS?

News feeds are created using RSS, a basic data format designed for sharing text and other Web content. It is used by web browsers and other feed-reading programs that organize content for easy reading, and is a good way to keep up to date with changing content.

How to subscribe to the CSO News Feed

The latest web browsers and a variety of programs known as a feed readers or aggregators can check RSS-enabled webpages on behalf of any user and display the content.

Depending on the source, RSS will deliver the entire text of the story to your newsreader, or just the first paragraph or headline. Clicking on a headline will take you straight to the full story via your web browser.

Many newsreaders are available as standalone programs or extensions of existing programs such as web browsers. Web-based feed readers and news aggregators require no software installation and make the your feed available on any computer with Web access. RSS feeds typically are linked via an orange rectangle with the letters XML or RSS .
