RSS: News Readers

rss feed aggregators are simple programs that store special links found on websites. The idea is that when a website is actually updated these programs are told this and kindly inform you that they have been updated and depending on the type of aggregator you get might and usually gives you a nice summary of what the update is about. If for example you’re subscribed to BBC then expect something new every 10 minutes.

You are the one that controls how often the feed is actually updated, or checks for new updates, so it could be every 10 minutes or every day. I still haven’t decided on the right type of aggregator for me yet.
