What is RSS?
RSS, while having many different definitions, is commonly understood to be an acronym for "Really Simple Syndication," and is an umbrella term for a suite of formats used to publish frequently updated content online. The syndication is done through a file that uses XML formatting to include titles, summaries, links, and descriptions of content.
Why is ARIN publishing RSS feeds?
The goal for ARIN in publishing these feeds is to make it easier for those in the community to follow announcements and discussions, share this information with colleagues, and increase the level of involvement with ARIN. While subscribing to ARIN mailing lists, such as ARIN-Announce or ARIN-PPML, is still the best way to stay informed and involved, ARIN's RSS feeds offer many benefits, including the ability to include the content of the feed in a personal news aggregator or by embedding the feed's content in a organization's intranet site to keep everyone informed.
What do I need to use RSS?
Most of the newest web browsers and e-mail clients either include support for reading RSS feeds or have it offered through a third-party plug-in. In addition, there are special news readers or aggregators that display RSS content feeds from multiple online sources that you select. There are many different news readers available, many of which are free of charge. Most are available as desktop software that you download and install on your computer. Several Web-based news readers are available as well.

What are the benefits of using RSS?
Rather than visiting a series of Web pages every day for content that interests you, by installing a RSS news reader and configuring them to pull RSS feeds you can automatically know when something new is posted online. For the RSS feeds of mailing lists, it allows a greater number of people to be informed without having to subscribe to the mailing list. However, to participate in discussions, you will still need to subscribe to the mailing list to be able to post.
