RSS
What is RSS?
In a world heaving under the weight of billions of web pages, keeping up to date
with the information you want can be a drag. Wouldn't it be better to have the latest
news and features delivered directly to you, rather than clicking from site to site?
RSS allows you to see when sites from all over the internet have added new content.
You can get the latest headlines and articles (or even audio files, photographs
or video) in one place, as soon as they are published, without having to remember
to visit each site every day. It takes the hassle out of staying up-to-date, by
showing you the very latest information that you are interested in. There is some
discussion as to what RSS stands for, but most people agree on 'Really Simple Syndication'.
RSS feeds are just a special kind of web page, designed to be read by computers
rather than people. It might help to think of them as the free, internet version
of the old-fashioned ticker-tape news wire machines. Not all websites currently
provide RSS, but it is growing rapidly in popularity and many others provide it.
OphthalmologyWeb offers RSS feeds for our major news sections and most of our original
article content.
How do I start using RSS feeds?
In general, the first thing you need is something called a news reader. This is
a piece of software that checks RSS feeds and lets you read any new articles that
have been added to them. 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 main computer, in the
same way that you either download your e-mail using Outlook, or keep it on a web-based
service like Hotmail. Many of OphthalmologyWeb's RSS subscribers access our RSS
feeds via their Google or Yahoo! home pages, the Google Desktop application, or
the Sage RSS reader extension for the FireFox web browser. Once you have chosen
a news reader, all you have to do is to decide what content you want to receive
in your news reader, by finding and subscribing to the relevant RSS feeds. For example,
if you would like the latest news in immunology, simply go to the OphthalmologyWeb
Life Science News site and visit the Immunology News section. There you will notice
an orange RSS button at the top right of the page. If you click on the button you
can subscribe to the feed in various ways, including by dragging the URL of the
RSS feed into your news reader or by cutting and pasting the same URL into a new
feed in your news reader. Most sites that offer RSS feeds use a similar orange RSS
button, but some may just have a normal web link to the feed. Live Bookmark Live
Bookmarks The Firefox browser supports Live Bookmarks, a system that detects RSS
feeds and allows users to subscribe. Look for this icon in the bottom right corner
of your browser or in the address bar, and click on it to subscribe. Feeds will
appear in your Bookmarks list. Some browsers, including Firefox, Opera, Safari,
and Internet Explorer 7, automatically check for RSS feeds for you when you visit
a website, and display an icon when they find one. This can make subscribing to
RSS feeds much easier. For more details on these, please check their websites.
How do I get a news reader?
There is a range of different news readers available and new versions are appearing
all the time. Different news readers work on different operating systems, so you
will need to choose one that will work with your computer. A small selection of
RSS readers is listed on the right.
