RSS, which stands for "really simple syndication," is a fast and convenient way of keeping track of the latest and greatest news and views from your favorite Web sites.
Here's how it works: You set up an "RSS reader" (also known as an "aggregator") on your computer and then pick the sites you read regularly -- e.g. www.foreignpolicy.com. Most sites have an RSS feed that displays headlines and a short blurb that explains what the article is about, or in many cases, the full text of the article or blog post in question.
If you already have an RSS reader installed (or if you use on online tool such as Bloglines or Google Reader), simply start the software and add one or more of the feed addresses below:
Featured content (a digest of the day's best items from ForeignPolicy.com):
http://www.foreignpolicy.com/issue/featured_content.php
Flash Points (running highlights from ForeignPolicy.com's blogs):
