A typical website is static; doesn’t change a whole lot in the day to day milieu of life. Blogs (online journals) and news sites change daily. You can stay on top of all the news YOU are interested in or a favorite website that changes often. How? With what are called Web Feeds.
Web Feeds is an information format to provide regularly updated content. To read a Web Feed there are Feed Readers. They come in stand alone creations or built-in to your browser readers. You can choose what interests you from a variety of web feeds. The available web feeds are many. They include news from many sources including local, national or global hard news or your latest hobby or interest. This allows you to collect all your news sites and web feeds from various sources into one place. It’s one-stop viewing!
Whenever a web site is RSS (Really Simple Syndication) capable there is an orange icon at the end of the web site address in the navigation bar or somewhere on the web page. You can click on that and subscribe to that feed or right click the RSS icon and hit properties and get the web feed address. To have this option available you must be using Firefox, Opera or Internet Explorer 7 as your browser. Otherwise you need a Feed Reader such as one of the few mentioned below.
Once you have collected your different sites into your reader you will have all your updated news and info at hand. It beats surfing from one web site to another to another …
