WHAT's RSS
[WWW & Technology]
RSS is an easy way for you to keep updated automatically on websites you like. Instead of you having to go to websites to see if they've written a new article or feature, you can use RSS (which stands for Really Simple Syndication) to get them to tell you every time they have something new.
HOW can I make use of RSS
In general you need to get hold of a program called a News Reader. This displays RSS information feeds from your chosen websites on your computer.
All you then have to do is choose which RSS feeds you want for instance, an RSS feed of all the latest news, announcement, event, article and stories from Ninetnine Network.
HOW can I sign up to RSS feeds from Ninetnine Network
Ninetnine Network headlines and story summaries are available via RSS (Really Simple Syndication) files. The files can be read a variety of programs known as online news aggregators, or readers.
The software enables Internet users to automatically receive instant news and information updates from Ninetnine Network and other Web sites.
RSS is a form of XML (eXtensible Markup Language) that codes headlines, story descriptions, and other data that can be scraped by news readers.
When Ninetnine Network editors publish new and updated content (typically once or twice each weekday), changes automatically appear wherever RSS syndication is implemented.
Aggregators require little technical expertise, and even allow Web site administrators to add RSS content feeds to their own sites. Popular news aggregator software programs include
FeedDemon (Windows)
Amphetadesk (Windows, Linux, Mac)
NetNewsWire (Mac)
Radio (Windows or Mac)
NewsWatcher (Windows XP)
NewzCrawler (Windows) and
Shrook (for Mac OS 10).
Visit any of these or other sites to install aggregator software and build your own personal media syndicate.
If you'd prefer to let a Web site do the aggregating for you, many (often free) options exist. Some allow you to receive headlines within your e-mail system or via a crawling "ticker" on your desktop.
My Yahoo! users, for example, can add RSS to their personal pages. Other options for dedicated RSS sites include
NewsGator,
Syndic8,
Bloglines,
Feedster, and
Pluck.
