To keep abreast of the latest news, people have to regularly visit information sites. Sometimes it takes too long. Fortunately, there is a way to keep information flow synchronized and save time for other things.
What is RSS technology and how can it be useful?
In the modern world with its hectic pace of life, every minute counts. In order not to get lost and maintain a high level of productivity at work and in other matters, enterprising people are looking for tools to optimize their activities.
One such tool is RSS - or Really Simple Syndication - which can be translated as "a really simple way to collect information." This technology is designed specifically to make the process of consuming news and other content on Internet sites more efficient. Today the information flow is so wide and fast that it takes a lot of processing time. RSS allows you to automate the collection of information from multiple sites by synchronizing their news feeds in a single data stream.
To put it simply, the user visits the web page of the RSS service, enters the addresses of the sites of interest, and gets access to a list of all updates. Depending on the settings set by the site owners, news previews or their full texts are broadcast in RSS. Thus, there is no need to regularly visit important Internet resources in order to keep abreast of updates. If the user is an active consumer of information content, thanks to RSS, he can significantly save his time.
Feedly is a popular RSS service
Not so long ago, the most popular RSS aggregator was Google Reader. After its closure, other projects gained wide recognition. A particularly noteworthy example is the Feedly service available at https://feedly.com. The project is notable for its developed ecosystem, which, in addition to the web version, includes applications for all key mobile operating systems: Android, iOS and Windows Phone. So, no matter the device, the user can always access Feedly.
The project is open to third-party developers, so almost anyone can write a client to work with the service. This feature plays into the hands of users, since you can always choose an alternative application if the official one does not suit you with something.
Feedly integrates seamlessly with other services like Evernote, Buffer, OneNote, LinkedIn, HootSuite, IFTTT, Pocket, Readability, to name a few. This approach makes the process of working with information more convenient and efficient.
All basic features of Feedly are free, but search for updates and some other premium features require a paid subscription.
