A news feed (also known as an RSS feed) is a listing of a Web site's content. It is updated whenever new content is published to the site. News readers "subscribe" to news feeds, which means they download lists of stories at an interval that you specify (every 30 minutes, for example), and present them to you in your news reader. A news feed might contain a list of story headlines, a list of excerpts from the stories, or a list containing each story from the website (KUSD's news feed contains school closing information, news, referendum, and school board information). All news feeds will have a link back to the website, so if you see a headline/excerpt/story you like, you can click on the link for that piece of content and will be taken to the Web site to read it.

A feed reader (also known as an aggregator) is simply a piece of software that you can use to read your subscribed news feeds. Modern web browsers such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari all have built-in RSS capabilities.
