RSS feeds bring automatically updated information straight to your desktop. You can monitor news, blogs, job listings, personals, and classifieds.

More and more sites offer feeds, which you can identify by a small button that says either RSS or XML.

However, if you click one of these links, you will most likely get a page full of code in your browser. To properly read the feed, you need an RSS reader.
