RSS in Safari
We’re going to be looking at RSS all week, starting with a hint from macosxhints.com. This snippet will focus on Safari, but we’ll be looking at other tools to exploit the power of RSS as the week goes on.
RSS stands for Really Simple Sydication. Sites that update their content frequently provide RSS feeds so their visitors can find fresh content easily.
You’ve probably seen orange buttons like the one above or others that say RSS or XML. Those buttons indicate there’s a feed for the site you’re viewing. Trying to read feeds with Internet Explorer 6 probably didn’t get you very far. Microsoft was a late-comer to the party, and looks to be aggressively trying to catch up. Sound familiar?
Watch the screencast if you’ve never subscribed to a feed. Or even if you have. And check back all week - Murphy will have more information on RSS for you.
