What are News Feeds?

News feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content. You can get the latest headlines and video in one place, as soon as it's published, without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.

Feeds are generally known as RSS which are just web pages, designed to be read by computers rather than people.

How to use RSS Feeds

There are a number of ways to use RSS Feeds.

Modern Web Browser

Most modern browsers, including Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari and Chrome automatically check for feeds when you visit a website, and display the orange RSS icon when they find one. Many of them allow you to add RSS feeds as a browser favourite or bookmark folder, automatically updating them with the latest content.

Web-based News Reader

Web-based news readers check feeds and displays any new articles that have been added. They let you catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, making this option useful if you want to access the feeds from multiple computers or devices.

Desktop News Reader

Some email software allows you to read RSS feeds. In addition, there is dedicated news reader software available that you can download and install on your computer.
