It reduces information overload by allowing selective movement of content onto the web. The document provides examples of RSS feeds from sites like CNN and BBC and explains how aggregator software can acquire new content through feeds even when a user is offline. It also gives examples of feed reader programs and discusses how to subscribe to and organize different feeds.
