What's this RSS thing? How do I use it?
RSS (really simple syndication) allows Web sites to make their most recent content available to you automatically. A program called an RSS reader, or 'aggregator,' helps you to organize and view the various RSS feeds that you choose to subscribe to. Most feeds (IndustrialDistribution's included) contain a headline, an abstract, and a link to each new article. The power of RSS lies in its ability to bring all of the news and content that interests you into one place. Rather than visiting 10 Web sites, you fire up your reader and quickly see what all of them have published. Then you click through to the articles that you want to read.Industrial Distribution's aim with this service is to help you keep up with industry news and find valuable distribution-management and sales information, and we hope that RSS will keep you coming back to www.inddist.com. (Please see below for an important note about licensing Industrial Distribution content and what this service is not.)
Get a reader: To take advantage of RSS feeds, you need an RSS reader/aggregator. Generally, these tools come in two forms: a program that you install on your computer, or a Web-based service. You can find a good list of available readers here. One of the easiest ways to get started with RSS is through Yahoo!'s 'My Yahoo!' offering, where you can make RSS feeds part of your own customized home page. Clickhere for an FAQ. Another popular RSS tool, Newsgator, comes in two flavors: a free, browser-based version and an installable product that costs money but integrates directly into Microsoft Outlook.
