RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is one of the fastest growing phenomena's on the Net. You may not have heard of it yet, but  trust me, you will soon. As you surf, you'll see the RSS/XML icons...

RSS allows you to receive updates and information from your favorite sites without the hassles involved with e-mails. You don't need to surrender your privacy either -- RSS doesn't require any personal information from you, and you control your subscription. Tired of a particular content feed? Just delete it. No more trying to unsubscribe.

Bottom line?

You get the information you want delivered direct to your desktop, and you're in control of your subscription.

More of What You Want

With RSS feeds coming straight to your personal page, news is updated constantly. You don't have to visit each site individually because the headlines or brief summaries are delivered right to you. If you'd like to see more, just click to read the full text. That's the "really simple" part. (Syndication is just the way that sites send updates out to everyone.) Best of all, it's drop-dead easy.

Yahoo, (my personal favorite) MSN, and several other popular portals also have incorporated RSS feeds into their website, allowing you to further customize your own homepage:
