A news feed, technically known as RSS, provides a convenient way for content publishers to distribute information in a standardized format. Summaries of content are delivered to you, and then you decide which articles you want to read by clicking a link.
You must have client software programs to read RSS Feeds. These programs are known as RSS aggregators or RSS readers. Outlook includes the functionality of an RSS aggregator.
