What are News Feeds?
News feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content. You can get the latest CBI news headlines in one place, as soon as its published, without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.
 

Feeds are also known as RSS. There is some discussion as to what RSS stands for, but most people plump for 'Really Simple Syndication'. In essence, the feeds themselves are just web pages, designed to be read by computers rather than people.

How do I start using feeds?
In general, the first thing you need is something called a news reader. This is a piece of software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new articles that have been added. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications.
 

Browser-based news readers let you catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, whereas downloadable applications let you store them on your computer, in the same way that you either download your e-mail using Outlook, or keep it on a web-based service like Hotmail.

Once you have chosen a news reader, all you have to do is to decide what content you want it to receive. For example, if you want to subscribe to the latest CBI News, simply click the RSS button at the top of this page.

If you click on the RSS button you can subscribe to the feed in various ways, including by dragging the URL of the feed into your news reader or by cutting and pasting the same URL into a new feed in your news reader.

Online news readers:
Some browsers, including Internet Explorer 7, Firefox, Opera and Safari have a "one-click" subscription service: they automatically check for feeds for you when you visit a website, and display an icon when they find one. For more details, please check their websites.
There are also specialized websites that provide RSS-reading functionality, they are: Bloglines, FeedZilla, Google Reader, NewsGator, Microsoft Live, My Yahoo! and Rojo.

Downloadable RSS Readers:
There is a range of different news readers available and new versions are appearing all the time.
