Twitter allows you to reach out and stay connected with the people that matter most. Unlike store bought software that only changes when you upgrade it, Twitter can change almost overnight. When Twitter was launched in March 2006, it was promoted as a micro-blogging platform.

Twitter gives people the opportunity to exchange comments with other users all over the world. It has also become a reliable source for late-breaking news. Twitter offers a simple interface for sending and receiving messages. Simply enter your message up to 140 characters which is known as a tweet, and it will be instantly viewed by your followers.

What is RSS?

RSS means Really Simple Syndication. RSS feeds are an easy and efficient way to receive notification when new information is available in a specific area of interest.

How Can I Benefit From RSS?

RSS feeds save time, allowing users to receive notification only when new content is available. Web site visitors choose the information they wish to subscribe to and can unsubscribe from any feed at any point.

How Do I Subscribe to RSS Feeds?

RSS readers are used to display the contents of an RSS feed in an easy to read format. Once you have an RSS reader you simply click the icon or a link to the RSS feed and paste it into your RSS reader. Some readers will auto detect the presence of an RSS feed on a website and you can optionally choose to subscribe. A short list is available at http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-software.html
