What is this RSS?


An RSS feed is a little text file that contains information about what was updated recently on a certain site. An RSS feed generally contains three things, a headline, a short summary, and a link which you can click to read the full article.An RSS feed is formatted in the XML language, so though it is a text file, a human would have a hard time figuring out which part means what. You need a RSS Reader in order to “render” an RSS news feed.

There are many free tools available out there that do this:


RSS Reader 1.08 : http://www.rssreader.com/
Serence KlipFolio 2.6 :http://www.serence.com/
BlogStreet Info Aggregator: http://rss.blogstreet.com
Wildgrape NewsDesk 1.1: http://www.wildgrape.net/
Awasu Personal Edition : http://www.awasu.com/


Once you have an RSS Reader tool, add the link below to your RSS tool to receive Techtree.com Updates. In most RSS Readers, you would need to click on the "Add New Feed" button to do this.
