What's RSS or XML?
You've been seeing orange RSS or XML buttons more and more, not knowing what they were.
Here's some help!
It's "the next big thing" -- you can use it to get news feeds from CNN or BBC, as well as just about anything else, including news on upcoming movies, DVD releases, or whatever you choose.
Once you get started, it's like having your favorite parts of the Web come to you. No need to go out and check for updates all the time.
No more bookmarks!
