What is RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML-based format for distributing and aggregating Web content (such as news headlines).
Using RSS, Web content providers can easily create and disseminate feeds of data that include, for example, news links, headlines, and summaries.
Other sites using RSS to deliver content to a wider audience include CNET News.com and Yahoo!
What are the terms of use?
The feeds are provided free of charge. We ask that you provide attribution to Gossamer-Threads in connection with your use of the feeds.
If you provide this attribution in text, please use: "Gossamer-Threads".
We reserve the right to prevent the distribution as well as the right to require you to cease distributing these Gossamer-Threads feeds at any time for any reason.
Gossamer-Threads does not accept any liability for its RSS feeds.
How can I use RSS?
Typical applications for consuming or using RSS feeds include:
Using a program known as a News Aggregator to collect, update and display RSS feeds Incorporating RSS feeds into weblogs
News Aggregators (also called news readers) will download and display RSS feeds for you. A number of free and commercial News Aggregators are available for download. Popular news readers include AmphetaDesk, NetNewsWire, and Radio Userland.
Another way many people use RSS feeds is by incorporating content into weblogs, or "blogs". Blogs are web pages comprised of usually short, frequently updated items and web links. Blogging as a publishing tool is used for many purposes: traditional journalism, personal journals, group discussions around a topic, and many combinations in-between.
Can I subscribe to all feeds in one go?
Yes Gossamer-Threads supports OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) which allows you sign sign up to all our feeds (if your reader support import) from the following url:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/opml-lists.opml
OPML is an XML-based format that allows exchange of outline-structured information between applications running on different operating systems and environments.
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 take this into account when you make your choice.
