RSS - feeding a hunger for news

If you are like me I need to know what is going on in the world – news, design, cycling, F1, iPhone updates, new technology... the list goes on.

The only way I can manage this without spending all day searching the web is to subscribe to RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds.

I get my daily dose of all things that interest me as soon as they are posted. The feed either lands in my Mail.app or one of my browsers - Flock is my browser preference at the moment.

When we created the website for Mansfield Building Society RSS feeds were one of the features we added to the site. When you subscribe to the MBS RSS feed you will be notified as soon as MBS post a new rate or news story. It means the MBS can get news out to their customers or potential customers quickly.

So, if you have news to tell the world why not think about RSS feeds? New products, new staff, new service developments... spread your good news, and it is really simple!
