Well, I've finally got around to messing around with RSS feeds. It's pretty fuckin' rad. It enables the user to agrogate a bunch of news and other weblog feeds into one single program.
RSS stands for Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication, depending on who you ask. Either way it's a way an XML standard for syndicating content over the web. So anyone can use a use program other than a web browser to get news and information.
There are couple of program that you can use to read RSS feeds NetNewsWire Lite on OS X and NewsDesk on Windows.
I decided to provide two different RSS feeds for people with and with out broadband. Even though the full articles aren't huge, there are people who have hundreds of feeds to download.
They are:
- The last 7 full posts: http://manshorts.net/index.xml
- Headlines and Excerpts: http://manshorts.net/excerpts.xml
Just enter in the URL into your favorite and your good to go. The excerpts are much smallers in size, therefore it's quicker to download.
