RSS | What's so good about RSS?

RSS or Real Simple Syndication is a quick and easy way to keep up to date with the websites you like to access. It's kind of an alert and a headline combined.

For example

  • you can subscribe to your favourite news site, when a headline appears that you are interested in you can click on it to open the full story
  • weather information for your region / town / city
  • recent library purchases or additions to their catalogue
  • a new blog posting
  • a new lol cat
  • twitter feeds
