RSS Feeds
Harvard Center for Cancer Prevention
Headlines 
Despite the techno-babble name, RSS feeds offer an easy
way to keep up-to-date on the news that’s most relevant
to you, whether it’s science news from the New York Times;
cricket results from the BBC; or cancer news from the Harvard
Center for Cancer Prevention.
To get started, all you need is a program that
reads RSS (short for “Real Simple Syndication”) feeds.
Some Internet browsers have this function already
built-in (like Apple’s Safari). In
most cases, though, you need to download and install a stand-alone
RSS reader—many
of which are totally free (like FeedReader and RSSOwl).
Now, you can be your own news editor. Click on an RSS link
that now appears on many news sites; ignore the unintelligible
code that then comes up in your browser; and simply copy and
past the web address (the “http://www...”) into
your RSS reader. Then, sit back as the reader brings up
the daily headlines and summaries from your favorite news sources.
