Why RSS?
Really simple syndication (RSS) feeds let you subscribe to news when and where you want it.
Get news quickly and concisely
It takes time to visit many Web sites every day to find new and interesting content.
You can subscribe to RSS feeds to easily stay informed without needing to browse each site.
Each news item in a feed has a title, short description, publication date, and a link to the full content on the Web.
Decide when and where to get news
Instead of providing an e-mail address and getting a newsletter sent to you, subscribe to the RSS feeds that interest you and look at news whenever or wherever you want.
You can access your news through a Web page, mobile device, or other application once a day, once an hour, or whenever you like.
When there's new news, you can read the short description and choose to go to the Web page to get more information or take action.
Gain a competitive edge
Subscribing to RSS feeds can give you a competitive edge through access to the latest new and updated Web content. For example, find out about a special offer as soon as it's announced so you can be one of the first to take advantage of it.
Subscribe to a feed now
Where do you go each day to get your news? Do you visit a personal Web page, mobile interface, e-mail application, or a customer relationship management (CRM) application? It's likely that you can easily subscribe to RSS feeds through your favorite news venue.
If you have a personal Web page with Google or My Yahoo, it's easy to add RSS feeds there. The IBM PartnerWorld RSS feeds list provides buttons to quickly add your selected feed to Google or My Yahoo. Here's how it looks for the ISV news feed:
Try it out now. If you don't already have a personal Web page in Google or Yahoo, clicking on one of the buttons will take you through the short configuration process. This is the easiest way to get started subscribing to RSS feeds.
Find more feeds
Now you need to choose your feeds. RSS is an Internet standard, so you'll find feeds available from IBM and many other Web sites.
Choose from a number of Business Partner-related feeds from IBM PartnerWorld. You can learn about the latest workshops available at your local IBM Innovation Center, find out about new or updated certifications, and much more.
Look for the "RSS" text or the standard RSS orange radar image on other Web pages to locate more feeds.
