HI, I THINK THAT YOU COULD TRY RSS POPPER WHICH IS AN ADD-IN FOR OUTLOOK. HTTP://RSSPOPPER.BLOGSPOT.COM/ YOU WOULD RECEIVE FEEDS IN YOUR INBOX, WHICH USUALLY CONSIST OF A TITLE AND A SUMMARY OF THE NEWS ITEM IN QUESTION INSTEAD OF THE FULL STORY. THE PAGE FOR THE STORY STILL HAS TO BE VISITED.

Re: [AI] RSS Feeds was: web brouser in ubuntu
Hi ya What is RSS? RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it. Why RSS? Benefits and Reasons for using RSS RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually. You ensure your privacy, by not needing to join each site's email newsletter. The number of sites offering RSS feeds is growing rapidly and includes big names like Yahoo News. What do I need to do to read an RSS Feed? Feed Reader or News Aggregator software allow you to grab the RSS feeds from various sites and display them for you to read and use. A variety of RSS Readers are available for different platforms. Some popular feed readers include Amphetadesk (Windows, Linux, Mac), FeedReader(Windows), and NewsGator (Windows - integrates with Outlook). There are also a number of web-based feed readers available. My Yahoo, Bloglines, and Google Reader are popular web-based feed readers. Once you have your Feed Reader, it is a matter of finding sites that syndicate content and adding their RSS feed to the list of feeds your Feed Reader checks. Many sites display a small icon with the acronyms RSS, XML, or RDF to let you know a feed is available. Cheers - KG On 26 Feb 2010, at 11:54 PM, Shyam M.

Make your selections in the Live Bookmarks dialog box, which is similar to the regular Bookmarks dialog. 5. Now to view the feed items, go to the location you selected in the previous dialog box, the default one is under the Bookmarks Toolbar. It would be the last item in the sub menu opened by pressing the Right arrow, and if you haven't changed the named it will be labeled as The Hindu - News Updates. 6. You can Right arrow again to open this sub menu and press enter on each feed headline to reach the page with the news content. 7. A better way is to use the Open All in Tabs option that is always located at the bottom of every Bookmarks sub menu. All your feed items will be opened as tabs in the same window. You can read each page and then press CTRL+W to close the tab and automatically go to the next one.

In the webb IE, this problem was not there and the time could be saved. Renuka. - Original Message - From: Arpit Jain arpit@gmail.com To: accessindia
