    There's a new entrant to the browser battle... Flock. It's based on Firefox and seems to be a nice, speedy browser. It can read RSS feeds, too. It's a developer release, right now, but if you're curious, you can get it here: http://www.flock.com/developer/

    Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a lightweight XML format designed for sharing headlines and other Web content.
    Translation: This thing alerts you if content has been updated on a site
    Where to you find these usually: Blogs, News sites, but is becoming more common everywhere. The browser is pretty nice but I think I'll stick with my Firefox :D
