Hello Rebecca, Not sure if someone has already explained the benefits of the RSS to you. So let me see if I can't tell you how I use them for myself.
The RSS subscriptions can be used in several ways. In this case you have mentioned the Lire app. This is more designed for gathering news for you in to one place. So let say I like to read the news from the CNN site. I also go over to AppleVis to see what is going on. Other times I want to read up on the latest Apple news from Macromeres site. What Lire do and other RSS Reader Clients. Is that they go out and gather up all of the news for you and put them in to one place. So no need to surf 8 different places for the news. It will gather up all 8 sites and place them in like an e-mail format. You get the Article Subject follow by a small summary of what is in that article. So double tapping on that article will give you the detailed information about the article. Now there are other apps like the Downcast. This takes advantage of the RSS that are geared towards podcasts. Very much like the articles I've mentioned above. Instead of having to go to a variety of places to see what new podcast are available. It comes to you. In this example, I like to listen to the AppleVis podcasts, along with 60 minutes, NBC Nightly News and others. It just makes your life easier if you spend a lot of time surfing to a variety of places to read the news and listen to podcast.
