DAU Media RSS

RSS stands for Rich Site Syndication or Really Simple Syndication. RSS feeds are free content feeds from Web sites that contain headlines, summaries, and links to the full page on the Web site.
You need special software, called a feed reader to use an RSS feed. You can also use software called an aggregator to gather and organize in one page the feeds over several days and from several sites. Most readers and aggregators are free to download.
RSS is an easy way to gather a wide variety of content in one place on your computer. Rather than visiting many Web sites each day to find out if there is new content, an RSS reader shows it all to you in one page. Many RSS readers also alert you when new content from your favorite Web site is delivered. Basically, RSS replaces e-mail lists. Subscribing to e-mail lists can result in a clogged inbox. And you have to separate the subscribed e-mail from the other messages. Subscribing to an RSS feed can eliminate some of that e-mail clutter.
If you have a feed reader and wish to acquire a feed to the page you were looking at, use the link at the top of this page. The link provides information that is coded for a reader, not your browser. To subscribe, read the instructions that came with your reader.
