WHAT IS RSS?
RSS or Really Simple Syndication is an easy way to keep updated automatically on
websites you like. Instead of having to visit the site to see if it has fresh content, you
will get alerts to check out the updates that have been added to your favourite sites. An RSS
service, also called an RSS channel, uses an XML format to list the fresh headlines and
live links to a web page.
HOW DO I USE RSS?
You will need to download a program called a news reader. This displays RSS
information feeds from your favourite websites on your computer. With BTO, you'll need to
choose which sections you want updates on - for example Singapore Markets, Shipping News and Companies
News. You can add the channels you want from the list on the left after you have downloaded a
news reader.
HOW DO I GET A NEWS READER?
There are a range of these available online, some of which are free. Different news readers
work on different operating systems, so please take this into account when you choose
one, and follow the instructions.
