RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is a relatively new method for getting the latest information from websites around the world into your hands. For example, the PSC has a "News Releases" RSS feed. If you subscribe to it, you can be instantly notified of any news releases that are posted to the website! RSS feeds can be news feeds, image feeds, audio feeds ("podcasts"), or video feeds. With a special type of software, called an RSS Client, you can "subscribe" to an RSS feed, or channel, and whenever information is updated, your client application will let you know, without you needing to view the website. Below is a list of free and commercial RSS clients for Windows and Mac OS X.
