About RSS
What is RSS?
'RSS' stands for Really Simple Syndication, a standard for publishing regular updates to web-based content. Using this standard, Web publishers provide updates, such as the latest news headlines or weblog postings. Meanwhile, consumers use RSS reader applications (or one of a growing number of online services) to collect and monitor their favorite feeds in one place (RSS content from a publisher, viewed in one of these readers, is often called a 'feed').
SPARC's RSS feed contains a headline, summary and a link back to the full story on SPARC.

To view RSS headlines
1. You need to have an RSS reader. If you're unfamiliar with news feeds first download a newsreader application like FeedDemon (Windows) or NetNewsWire (Mac). Then, copy and paste the URL of the news feed into the application's 'subscribe' dialogue. Or you can download a dedicated desktop reader or use a web-based reader that does not require a software download or installation. NewsGator, Bloglines, and new RSS content capabilities in My Yahoo! are probably the three best-known examples of web-based feed reading services.
