Title: Turbo2k RSS Feed
Post by: Odonadon on January 25, 2008, 08:00:36 AM
Hi all,

I actually meant to post this when Turbo2k got the RSS feed... oh about 4 years ago now :)  If anyone is interested or uses an RSS reader (I love RSS feeds myself), here is the link to the Turbo2k news blog RSS feed:

Oh I forgot to note that the news blog is now getting over 200 views per day - which is outstanding!  And I'm willing to bet that's thanks to a lot of the same people who visit this forum.  Thank you - I appreciate it!   :D

I hate to reveal my curmudgeonly ways, but I have never used RSS.

Who knows, maybe I'll lose my virginity to the Turbo2k RSS Feed?

It could happen.

Same here.  What's RSS?

..... never mind, I don't care, though I love turbo2k.  :)

RSS is only the single greatest invention ever.  :)  I have an RSS aggregator running all day gathering news from about 8 different sites.  It's the main way I check news.  Google Reader (http://www.google.com/reader) is a great online RSS reader - for those not familiar with it.

Basically an RSS aggregator acts as an E-mail Inbox, collecting stories as they are published on the respective websites.  For example, you'll get a link and part of the article, sometimes all of it, in your aggregator - kind of like how you get e-mail throughout the day.  Then you just go through the "Inbox", browse by subject or topic or whatever, and read away!  It's great!  Best way to be up-to-the-minute on anything, really.

If you use Firefox, click the link in this post - Firefox has a built-in RSS reader - and you'll see what it looks like.
