RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication. It allows you to subscribe to podcasts, blogs, web sites and news and keep up to date as new information or episodes are released.

RSS is really cool and is driving the trend for people to get the content they want, when they want it.

You need an RSS reader. There are many, most are FREE. It is built in to Internet Explorer 7 and the Mac’s Safari web browser. You can get it for Firefox or IE6 as a plug in.

iTunes uses RSS to automatically download new podcasts as they are released.
