So what is this RSS thing?
RSS Feeds are openly available news feeds, alerting you almost instantly to new and updated content in various areas of the web site. They require an RSS reader such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Reader, but no personal information like email addresses (or even your name!) is required to receive them.
RSS is commonly known as Really Simple Syndication, (this isn't actually necessarily what it stands for - see here for more trivia regarding RSS and its history) and is a standardized format for the distribution of frequently updated information on the internet.
What about iCal?
The City of Laurel provides our calendars both in a web-readable format and iCal (or more appropriately the iCalendar file format), which allows our calendar events to be read and displayed by iCalendar-compatible software such as Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, and a plethora of other packages.
iCal is the standard format for distributing calendars online. It allows users to send meeting requests, schedule events and much more, and is used by most of the scheduling and calendar software available today.
