What is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an easy way for you to keep up with your favorite news and information. An RSS feed contains headlines and links to current information from ShoppingNexus.com. Instead of you having to go to Web sites for the latest news and information on the topics you care about most, you can use category-specific RSS to stay informed as products and sales changes. ShoppingNexus.com will be offering several RSS feeds for use in news readers and Web logs (blogs). These feeds include headlines and links back to ShoppingNexus.com for the complete information. RSS-enabled sites usually have an orange XML or RSS button to let you know that a feed is available.

How to use RSS

Use the links on the ShoppingNexus.com RSS page to choose the RSS feeds that interest you. RSS reader programs vary, so follow your program's direction for signing up.

Where to find RSS readers

A wide range of RSS readers can be easily downloaded from the Web. Some readers are Web-based while others require you to download a small software program onto your desktop. Most are free to use. (Several readers require Microsoft's .NET framework on your computer. They may be slightly more complicated to install if you do not have .NET.) Google and Yahoo! both offer comprehensive lists of RSS readers. A few sample readers are also offered below for the purpose of evaluation:
