What are RSS readers?

RSS news readers are small software programs that aggregate RSS feeds and display the story information. They use a technology called XML to deliver headlines and summaries from any news source that supports the technology to your desktop or Web browser. RSS feeds are different from podcasts; they do not contain audio.
