Toronto Life RSS Feeds

What is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary) is a Web site’s syndicated content feed that you can subscribe to using a news reader. Syndication means you don’t have to visit each site individually to see what’s new. You will automatically be alerted by your RSS reader when new content is posted.

Why do I want RSS?

RSS keeps you constantly informed about fresh content on your favourite Web sites. RSS uses an XML code that continually scans the content of a Web site for new updates and then broadcasts those updates to all subscribers through a feed.

RSS feeds provide the convenience of up-to-the-minute news and saves time by alerting you only to the content that interests you the most.

How do I use RSS?

You need a special news reader or aggregator that displays RSS content feeds from the Web sites that you choose. There are many different news readers available and several of these are free. You may also use a Web-based news reader. For example, My Yahoo! users can now add RSS feeds directly to their personal page.
