RSS, XML Feeds

The above RSS feed picks up all activity on KatsBits and publishes it to RSS (catagories may be available at some point in the near future).

What are RSS feeds?

For those that don't know or have never used RSS, it's an acronym for 'Really Simply Syndication'. It's essentially a simple and easy way of providing information to 'subscribers' of a particular 'feed'.

What this means for you as a user is that instead of constantly visiting half a dozen web sites to get the latest news from each of them, you just open up a feed 'reader' (like FeedReader) and synchronise with the feeds your subscribed to; the news comes to you rather than you going to it!. Very handy.

How do I use RSS?

Basically you need to 'subscribe' to a feed. All this usually means is copying a URL address of a feed and pasting that into your feed reader, the application then does the rest, constantly updating at set intervals or whenever the application is started.

Is RSS free?

The ones from katsbits are, yes. Other sites may charge you for 'premium' content depending on what they offer.
