RSS—Information at a Glance

The web technology known as RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is proving to be extremely popular with people who want to browse a lot of information quickly and easily. Before Safari RSS, it was necessary to download a separate application that could collect and read RSS feeds. Now it's just built in to Safari and easier than ever. And, as usual, because the Mac is doing it, it's going to get even bigger.

Major news organizations, special interest sites, and personal weblogs offer headlines and story summaries as RSS news feeds. Safari includes a collection of RSS news feeds to get you started. You can quickly browse through RSS headlines and summaries, rather than visiting dozens of web sites looking for the latest news. If you see a story that interests you, a single click jumps you right to the story's web page.
