No need to be afraid of "RSS" or "RSS feeds" what does RSS mean?
RSS (most commonly translated as "Really Simple Syndication"
Many people are afraid of RSS it is nothing to be afraid of and can be quite helpful. I use the RSS feeds all the time. I receive RSS into my Blackberry and read what's happening on my websites, local news, weather etc.. I add RSS in "My Page" all the time to give an update of what's happening in my world. Feel free to experiment with the RSS feeds on the GTL networks just look for the RSS icon/logo at the bottom of blogs, forums, group lists etc..
