1. What is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an easy means of sharing and distributing syndicated content from various Web sites (often referred to as an RSS Feed).  This content is delivered to you in an XML-formatted file and typically includes the latest headlines, breaking news, product and event information, and link to additional information.

2. How do I access syndicated content sent via RSS?

Users select what syndicated content they wish to view by subscribing to the RSS Feed at many Web Sites, including www.NorthStarAnalytics.com.  Subscribing to an RSS Feed is similar to subscribing to a magazine.  When you subscribe to a magazine, each new issue is mailed directly to you when it becomes available.  After you have subscribed to an RSS Feed, new syndicated content is automatically delivered to you and is viewable using an RSS Reader or a reader-capable application, such as Microsoft Outlook. 

3. How do I get an RSS Reader

RSS Readers (sometimes called RSS Aggregators) enable you to view feeds from multiple sources.  They automatically collect, update, and display all your feeds in an easy-to-browse format.  Many readers are available, and most are free.  A few common applications include:

• NewsGator
• FeedReader
• intraVnews
• RSS Bandit
• SharpReader
• NetNewsWire for Macintosh computers

A few common web-based readers include:

• Microsoft’s Windows Live
• Yahoo’s MyYahoo
• Microsoft’s MyMSN
• CNET’s NewsBurst
• Google
• NewsGator Online
