If you provide this attribution in

How can I use RSS?
Typical applications for consuming or
using RSS include:
-
Using a program known as a News
Aggregator to collect, update and
display RSS feeds
-
Incorporating RSS feeds into
weblogs
News Aggregators (also called news
readers) will download and display RSS
feeds for you. A number of free and
commercial News Aggregators are available
for download. Popular news readers
include AmphetaDesk, NetNewsWire, and
Radio Userland.
Another way many people use RSS feeds
is by incorporating content into weblogs,
or "blogs". Blogs are web pages comprised
of usually short, frequently updated
items and web links. Blogging as a
publishing tool is used for many
purposes: traditional journalism,
personal journals, group discussions
around a topic, and many combinations
in-between.
