Someones Explain RSS To Me.
 

I have Firefox (2+) and I know what RSS feeds are, but I mean I'm just not really used to them

What is the best setup for recieving them, and are they really worth it?

I personally use Google Reader. Works really well and is a pretty nice design.

I think it's worth it. I have a lot of feeds and am always adding more. It saves time in that you only have to go to one site to read x number of sites/blogs/comics/podcasts/whatever.

I was a bit weary on RSS when I got into it about a year ago. Went though Sage RSS and a few other Firefox addons but I didn't really like them (Firefox by itself is worse). Then I tried GR and I visit it multiple times daily now and really can't see going back to web sites only.

RSS is really worth it if you go to a place that updates alot, you can just click over to the feed and see all the updates at once.

Also, I use the one that's in IE7, but that doesn't apply to you :p

Break this down for me. RSS feeds are what, news headlines you click on for the story?

RSS feeds are either just the headlines or the entire story/blog. Most commonly the latter as long as you have the right program/service. GR and Sage does the whole thing if it's available. As far as I know browsers only do the headlines.
