Surf Sites: RSS at MIT

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is gaining momentum at MIT (see page 7 for more on RSS). The sites to the right offer RSS feeds that you can subscribe to – with the exception of the School of Engineering site, which displays RSS feeds from other sources on its home page. These MIT-based RSS feeds provide summaries ranging from headlines for Windows users, to major MIT campus and research news, to alerts about videos available at MIT World.

Most of the URLs below take you to summary pages that provide some background as well as links to the RSS feeds themselves.
