RSS Feeds 101
The web is often seen as a big and scary monster, ready to send its poor victims into utter confusion. For those that do not spend every waking minute behind a screen or monitor (yes, there are still some around) and even for those that are a little more adept at surfing the net, searching for information you want often feels the equivalent of falling into a black hole.
It is for this exact reason that we love showing our clients cool and simple tools that just make your web experience a little more pleasant.
This simple tool is for those that want to stay informed and keep abreast of current news and information, without having to search for it every day. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds are nifty systems that deliver constantly changing web content right into your mailbox.
All you have to do is find the websites you are interested in and add them to your list of RSS feeds, bearing in mind the website has to offer RSS. Anytime new content, news or products are added to that website, it will be sent directly to your inbox without you having to lift a finger.
RSS feeds are not like a newsletter subscription, where you receive general information about the brand or product in an edited version. This technology pulls information from the website each time it is updated, keeping you right on top of what is happening on your favourite sites. It saves you time by not having to go and check the website and increases privacy as you don’t have to submit any details to receive the feeds.
The other brilliant aspect is that there is a huge amount of support for it. RSS feeds can be linked to Microsoft Outlook, iGoogle and various other web technologies, making life that much easier. Realm Platform also utilizes the RSS feed, so that you are able to keep all your information stored in one place.
So what are you waiting for? Get your RSS reader and start building your own library of fantastic content now.
