An RSS flux or RRS feed, acronym of Really Simple Syndication or of Rich Site Summary enables to inform in real time about the new contents of a website, without having to consult it.
To be able to exploit an RSS feed, a user should have a specific tool, called “RSS reader” or “aggregator”. Several browsers can also read the RSS flux, notably Mozilla Firefox (of origin, or with the extensions Wizz RSS News Reader, infoRSS or Sage), Opera since version 7.5, and Safari since version 2.0. Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 also integrates a news aggregator. Windows Vista manages RSS originally. For Linux: http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-reader-linux.htm
Finally, there are also sites operating as aggregators, such as Netvibes (http://www.netvibes.com/ ), Google Reader (http://www.google.com/reader) or My Yahoo! (http://my.yahoo.com/).
