What is RSS?

What is RSS and how or why should I subscribe?  You may be asking yourself this question as you browse the various pages on the ESU #11 site.

RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication” (Wikipedia article).  An RSS “feed” is a collection of items sorted by date that you can subscribe to using an RSS reader.

There are many different RSS readers available, but some of the most popular are Google Reader and Bloglines.  You can also subscribe to RSS feeds using most modern email clients, like OS X’s Mail.app or Microsoft Outlook.  The advantage to a web-based RSS reader is that you can access all of your news items from any computer.
