Using RSS Feeds
(it's fun when it's fun!)

Using RSS Feeds

Subscribing to an RSS feed is easy.

• Look for one of the little RSS or XML icons and right-click on it. or or
• Copy the feed's URL to your clipboard ('copy shortcut' in IE or 'copy link location' in FireFox).
• Paste it into your RSS feed reader. That's it! Now let the feed reader do its aggregating work and enjoy the news.

Where do you get a feed reader? For a stand-alone option, check out NewsGator, but a better option is to use your email client.

RSS and Your Email Program

While dedicated programs to read RSS feeds have been developed, the most useful ones borrow much of the interface and functionality from your email program. Before long, more and more email programs and web-based email services will be able to read RSS news. Mozilla Thunderbird, for example, integrates RSS feeds nicely and seamlessly, and NewsGator turns Outlook into a capable aggregator.

Email clients are the natural environment for Usenet news, email and RSS feeds. These methods of following news are strikingly similar, and aggregating them all in the same powerful program has many benefits.
