| | If you access lots of websites and look at people's blogs on a regular basis, then you should look at using a RSS reader and make life a bit more simple. What is a RSS Reader?In simple terms it will help bring changing information that you are interested to you. The RSS reader helps you manage this from a single place and saves you a job of having to look at lots of different sites to keep up to date. It stands for Really Simple Syndication and the technology has been around for many years. Most people don't seem to know what it is or how it can be of benefit. You'll find the best definition of RSS on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS Simple steps to get going with RSSWhenever you see the orange symbol  it means that there is a RSS newsfeed link available to you to stay up-to-date when the latest news. There are many feeds available particularly from bloggers and content management systems. Organisations that care about broadcasting changes will use RSS. So, click on the orange symbol and it will give you XML link similar to the one below. The Consoltis Blog RSS feed http://www.consoltis.com/rss/25/50/41/8b44c538d569216e2b520038555e9964.xml To use the feed, you need a Reader. I use Google's RSS Reader ( http://www.google.com/reader). It's free and have subscribed to many sites that interest me both from a business and personal perspective ie. changes to google, marketing sites, Search Engine Optimisation, Andy's Murray's tennis blog etc .. All you do is take a copy of the XML feed (like the Consoltis Blog ) and then add a subscription for each link. You'll soon build up a very powerful list of information you can use everyday. Benefits - Information comes to you
- You can look at the changes other organisations and people have made any time you like
- The RSS Reader works a bit like email and keeps track of the pages you've not seen
- You can access the RSS reader from any device including you're mobile phone
- Saves you time and keeps you in touch
| By Charlotte Britton, 16 Jan 10 | I use Google reader and it makes it a lot easier to read blogs. In fact I share some of the articles with some of my contacts.
I also have Google reader set up on my Blackberry. So if I'm on a bus or train I can catch up on the blogs, rather than reading the metro! |
