RSS Reader

Introduction

RSS Reader is an application that checks RSS feeds, and collects updates posted to RSS feeds. When you add an RSS feed or "site," you will be able to stay updated with the associated news site or blog in an easy-to-read list.

RSS Reader manages two types of sites:

Shared sites: Shared sites are added by the system administrator and viewable by all users.
Personal sites: Personal sites are added and viewed by individual users.

What is RSS?

RSS is a Web syndication technology that is used to publish news updates. It is often used to keep track of frequently updated websites such as news sites and blogs.

Tip

RSS Reader supports the RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, and Atom 0.3 syndication standards.
RSS feed URLs can use HTTP or HTTPS.
