Luckily, I found this post at RSS Circus (which is for News on the RSS ecosystem in French and English). Not all websites currently provide RSS, but it is growing rapidly in popularity and many others, including the Guardian, New York Times and CNN provide it. Original Post () Until 8 days ago, my RSS feed URL for the Guardian newspaper was: But now that returns a 404. It might help to think of them as the free, internet version of the old-fashioned ticker-tape news wire machines. RSS feeds are just a special kind of web page, designed to be read by computers rather than people. RSS takes the hassle out of staying up-to-date, by showing you the very latest information that you are interested in. You can get the latest headlines and articles (or even audio files, photographs or video) in one place, as soon as they are published, without having to remember to visit each site every day.

Using RSS (Really Simple Syndication) allows you to see when sites from all over the internet have added new content. Wouldn't it be better to have the latest news and features delivered directly to you, rather than clicking from site to site? In a world heaving under the weight of billions of web pages, keeping up to date with the information you want can be a drag.
