What are RSS feeds?

What is a feed reader?

How does it work?

The RSS Reader gathers and displays web feeds from various web sites. Updates from several websites can be delivered directly to you with no need to visit them. In other words, you receive automatic updates when articles (or latest news releases, media briefings, announcements) are added on a website you subscribed to.

Why use RSS?

The benefits and reasons for using RSS are the following:

• It allows you to easily stay informed by receiving summaries of the latest content from the websites you are subscribed to
• It saves time (no need to visit each website individually)
• It ensures your privacy (spam-proof, no visit, you do not need to provide your email address, no newsletter subscription)
• It saves bandwidth, since a feed contains only links, headlines or brief synopsis (that means the small amount of Web data can be sent to any XML-compatible device, such as a cell phone, pager, or handled computer, without a lengthy download process)

How do I subscribe to the UNOG website feeds?

What do you need to do?

You subscribe to a feed by simply supplying a special link to your RSS Reader. Follow the instructions given for your particular news reader. But in general, the steps are:

• Click the RSS or XML button, you will be directed to the URL address of that feed.
• Copy the URL address from the web browsers window.
• Paste this link into your news reader.
