What is RSS?
RSS or Really Simple Syndication is an
easy way to keep updated automatically on websites you like. Instead of
having to visit the site to see if it has fresh content, you will get
alerts to check out the updates that have been added to your favourite
sites. An RSS service, also called an RSS channel, uses an XML format to
list the fresh headlines and live links to a web page. ST Interactive now
offers RSS channels for its news sections.
How do I use RSS?
You will need to download a program
called a news reader. This displays RSS information feeds from your
favourite websites on your computer. With STI, you'll need to choose which
sections you want updates on - for example Prime news, Singapore news and
sports news. You can add the channels you want from the list on the left
after you have downloaded a news reader.
How do I get a news reader?
There are a range of
these available online. Different news readers work on different operating
systems, so please take this into account when you choose one, and follow
the instructions.
