About RSS Feeds
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) Feeds, also known by the name of News feeds, are based on the idea that, why go looking for news when it can come to you by itself? In essence RSS Feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content. You can get all the latest headlines in one place, as soon as they are published, without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.
Subscribing to RSS Feeds
In general, the first thing you need is something called a news reader. This is a piece of software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new articles that have been added. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications.
Browser-based news readers let you catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, whereas downloadable applications let you store them on your main computer, in the same way that you either download your e-mail using Outlook, or keep it on a web-based service like Hotmail.
Some of the popular RSS Readers are listed below

Once you have chosen a news reader, all you have to do is to decide what content you want it to receive. You can subscribe to the feed in various ways, including by dragging the URL of the feed given below into your news reader or by cutting and pasting the same URL into a new feed in your news reader. Some browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, automatically check for feeds for you when you visit a website, and display an icon when they find one. This can make subscribing to feeds much easier. For more details on these, please check their websites.
