  • RSS (Really Simple Syndication) Is Offered by Some Websites to Allow Web Users to Be Alerted When Information Is Updated
    What is RSS? RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is offered by some websites to allow web users to be alerted when information is updated. Users must subscribe to the website’s RSS feed in order to receive alerts on their desktop or mobile device. Feeds can also be used to deliver media content which you can view on your computer or mobile device. This is referred to as podcasting. How do I need if an RSS feed is available? If feeds are available on a website, the Feeds button will be displayed. How does a feed differ from a website? A feed can have the same content as a webpage, but it's often formatted differently. Why is the Shire using a RSS feed? The Shire has created an RSS feed for when it declares a Harvest and Vehicle Movement Ban. When the ban is declared, information is announced on ABC radio and displayed on the Shire’s main webpage. The RSS feed is another method for people wanting an instant alert. How do I subscribe to an RSS feed? To receive RSS feeds you may need to install an RSS feed reader. In more recent web browsers, feed readers are included as standard features. If you are using Microsoft Outlook or an up to date web browser, refer to the section on Browser Installation Guides below. If you do not already have a feed reader installed in your browser, you may need to install a separate RSS feed reader application. The Shire does not endorse or offer technical support for any third party products, though some commonly used RSS readers are listed below: Windows Microsoft Outlook 2007 or above Internet Explorer 7 and above Firefox Google Chrome FeedReader RSS Reader MAC Safari NewsFire RSS NetNews Wire Mobile (iOS, Android or Windows Mobile) RSS Reader Readers for those with visual impairments Podder .

  • What's Rssing?
    Review of Business Information Systems – Third Quarter 2007 Volume 11, Number 3 More With Less Using RSS Annette C. Easton, ([email protected]), San Diego State University George Easton, ([email protected]), San Diego State University ABSTRACT Today, many receive information via RSS, an efficient delivery and aggregation technology that feeds user-specific web content to our computers. For an individual, RSS is like having an assistant available to gather the information you want to see from a variety of sources. For businesses, RSS can be an effective mechanism to reach customers and provide them with the information they have asked for. While there is tremendous growth in the usage of RSS, surprisingly, many of us know little about what it is. INTRODUCTION phemeralization is a term coined by Buckminster Fuller that refers to the ability to accomplish more with less using increasingly efficient methods and technologies (Heylighen, 1998). An evolving X technology that illustrates the essence of ephemeralization is RSS. Just as newspaper columns can be syndicated and published in other newspapers, website content can be syndicated and published on other websites. “Really Simple Syndication,” “Resource Description Framework (RDF) Site Summary,” and “Rich Site Summary,” are all terms that have shared the acronym RSS and have referred to technology that facilitates the sharing, or syndication, of website content by subscription. RSS, more specifically RSS feeds, reduce the effort and time required to access web content by allowing users to subscribe to specific web sources that generate or that link to content they desire. The subscribers use personalized start pages or RSS readers to display summaries of the content which are updated automatically as new information becomes available.
