RSS feeds
• RSS (really simple syndication) is something a website (or blog) offers
to readers to provide a “news feed” of their information. It delivers
exactly the information that you have “subscribed” to, eliminating the
need to go out and check your favourite outlets for new information,
because they are delivered to your computer.
• You need a downloaded content aggregator / feed reader to receive the
RSS feeds.
• Attensa (www.Attensa.com) can be installed on your computer so
feeds of your choice are delivered to folders in your inbox.
• Bloglines (www.bloglines.com) is an external website which you can
visit when you choose to view your feeds.
