What is RSS or RSS channels

RSS is a XML based format that permits content distribution in real time through channels or information flows. It's a way of chronologically describing the content of a site. It was developed by Netscape in 1999 and rapidly became a standard with Version 0.92, followed by the "RDF" version 1.0 (recommended by the W3C). UserLand Software has since developed a simplified Version 2.0.

Nowadays, no serious development may ignore RSS syndication. Google News Canada (Beta) already allows you to search among 4,500 channels. Yahoo is also looking to join in, see Yahoo tests RSS for MyYahoo (CNET News.com - January 12, 2004).

There are numerous benefits to using RSS:

  1. Publish news headlines and summaries in real time on "Google News", as they are published;
  2. Display in a news reader or news aggregator;
  3. Specialize channels by grouping information by industry sector and by RCM.
RSS readers, news aggregators

RSS channels may be read by "aggregators". Channel readers give you the ability to determine how often you want to check the postings of new articles in the "RSS" feeds you're subscribed to. Several news aggregators may be downloaded free of charge or bought on the Internet. To be able to subscribe to the Lower St. Lawrence RSS channels, and stay up-to-date on our news as it's published, you need to use an aggregator such as:

  1. Lower St. Lawrence News Reader (Win/Mac OS X);
  2. FeedReader 2.5 (Windows);
  3. NetNewsWire de Ranchero Software (Mac OS X);
  4. FeedDemon de Bradbury Software (Windows);
  5. AmphetaDesk v0.93 (Win/Mac/Linux);
  6. Thunderbird 0.9 (Win/Mac/Linux).
