How to use RSS

What is RSS?

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication." It’s a way for CNBC.com to send updated headlines and blog posts to you. Setting up RSS feeds supplies the ability to pull the news information you are interested in seeing from a variety of different websites into one location without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.
