RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS feeds are a way for website owners to easily distribute a list of headlines, update notices, and content to a wide number of people on the web. Most people are interested in many websites whose content changes on an unpredictable schedule. Examples of such websites are news sites, travel sites, community information pages, medical websites, and weblogs. Repeatedly checking each website to see if there is any new content can be very tedious.
With new integrated support for RSS in Internet Explorer 7, you can easily discover, subscribe to and read RSS feeds directly in the browser. You can have personalized sports, news, or shopping feeds delivered directly to you.
In Internet Explorer 7, you can read the feed directly in the browser, scan
for important stories and get a description of the content. You can also
subscribe to a feed with a single click, a process that is very similar to
adding a website Favourite.
For information on how to subscribe to a RSS feed please visit our FAQ: "How to subscribe to a RSS feed in Internet Explorer 7".
NOTE: It is important to remember that Outlook and IE7 work on the same
RSS collection information.
