RSS stands for 'really simple syndication' or 'rich site summary'. An RSS aggregator is an application that goes out and grabs all the new stuff on websites that you've told it you're interested in. Most weblogs have RSS feeds (written in XML format)... many news websites are bringing them online. So then, what it allows you to do is to cover more ground in a shorter time span. I am using RSS Bandit, which is a free download. rssbandit.org There are also web-based aggregators. bloglines.com Computerworld feed archive: computerworld.com right click on link, then copy shortcut into feed aggregator. App will then update w/ all the new computerworld stories at regularly scheduled intervals.
