Some of you are wondering what RSS is, how you can use it, and how it can make life easier for you. You got 2 choices: Read the full-blown RSS explanation we have on Acquireo, or read the 2 short paragraphs below and then choose one of the RSS feed readers. You want short paragraphs followed by easy action? Good.

What does RSS do? It sends information from websites (such as Acquireo) to you, rather than you needing to go back to those websites to check for updates. It works really well on websites where the information changes or is updated constantly.

For example, imagine you’re a hard-core news junkie, with 250 different news websites you follow. Instead of revisiting all 250 sites each hour, you use RSS to send headline updates – called feeds – to your RSS feed reader, your customized page for all your news updates. (It’s like having a web browser minimized on your computer.) Each feed is a link to the actual news report on that news website. In short, you track 250 news websites, keep updated automatically, and read only the stories you want in as many news categories your heart desires.

Now for easy action: we made a list of popular feed readers for you to use.
