More cranium-enhancing information for the
technologically curious:
- RSS news is pulled into your local computer via feed reading software which
is technically called an "aggregator".
- The true definition of "Aggregate" according to Merriam-Webster is: 'to collect or
gather into a mass or whole'
- You may put many topics of news and/or blogs into your "aggregator"
easily by pasting the RSS feed shortcut from a given internet site into your
feed reading (aggregate) software if provided the site you have interest in
offers RSS news.
- RSS aggregates are easy to use:
News aggregator programs notify you each time new articles or blogs are posted to the website(s) you have chosen
to watch.
