RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and it's a very easy way to keep up-to-date with what's happening on your favourite websites without having to revisit them all the time.

How do I use a feed?

First of all you need to find a news reader. You can download the software from a third party if your browser doesn't have one.

Browsers that have RSS built into them include:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp

Apple Safari
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/

Firefox
http://www.getfirefox.com

Here are some popular news readers to get you started

Google Reader
http://www.google.com/reader

Bloglines
http://www.bloglines.com

NewsGator
http://www.newsgator.com

Now that you've got your news reader, it's really easy to get updates from your favourite websites. Click on the RSS icon (top of page) and drag the link into your news reader (or you can copy and paste it into the news reader).

Your news reader will then tell you when new content is added to the Future™ website: it will provide you with headlines and stories that you can click on to visit the site.
