What are News Feeds?
News Feeds allow you to identify the content you like and have it delivered directly to you.
Rather than visiting the website to stay up-to-date, News Feeds will deliver to you the very latest information that you are interested in.
Many popular websites use News Feeds: the BBC, CNN, the New York Times and the Guardian all provide News Feeds.
News Feeds allow you to have all the latest news from an unlimited number of websites delivered to you and viewable within a single page or application.
Feeds are also known as RSS which stands for 'Really Simple Syndication'. The feeds themselves are just web pages, designed to be read by computers rather than human beings!
How to Use News Feeds
To use News Feeds, you’ll need a “news reader”, or Aggregator.
Some newsreaders are downloadable applications, and some operate through a web-browser. All allow you to display and subscribe to your chosen News feeds.
Here are few options:

Mac OS X

Once you have installed your chosen news reader, all you need to do is decide what content you want to receive. An orange button shown below indicates that a feed is available. Simply click the orange button to subscribe to the feed.
