Welcome to the Pew Internet Project's RSS Feed Page. Basic information about our available RSS feeds and how to use them.

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication (among other things). It is a content format which, when used with an RSS aggregator, lets users know whenever anything on a specific Web page is updated with new content. RSS Feeds are commonly used on weblogs (blogs), news Web sites and other places with frequently freshened content. The aggregator "pulls" content to the user every time a specified page is updated and allows the user to view all the new content in one location. RSS Feeds are often indicated by links that say "RSS," "Syndicate this site" or a square orange button with the text XML within it. Like this:

In order to receive a PIP feed, first you must sign up for or download an RSS aggregator or reader utility. These utilities can be either desktop or web-based. Some examples of popular aggregators include Bloglines, Feedreader, NetNewsWire, (for mac) and Newsgator, among many others.

Once you have set-up your RSS aggregator, you are now ready to add a PIP feed to your list of RSS feeds. To do that, click on one of the XML buttons below next to the feed you are interested in. In your browser, you will then see XML code. This is raw code that is not meant to be viewed in your browser and can be ignored. Instead, copy the URL link in the address window in your internet browser (it will start with http://pewinternet.org/rss...) and place that URL link into your RSS aggregator program. You have now added a Pew Internet RSS feed to your aggregator and will receive relevant updates whenever they become available.
