What are Web Feeds?

Web feeds are an easy way for you to keep updated automatically on websites you like.

A web feed is a text file with a list of headlines, brief summaries and links to full articles on our website. Its purpose is to provide our web site visitors with an easy way to keep informed about latest news, procurement solicitations, jobs vacancies and consultancies all in one place as soon as AU-IBAR makes them available online, without their having to constantly visit au-ibar.org directly for updates.

Feeds are also known as RSS. There is some debate as to what RSS actually stands for, but most people go for Really Simple Syndication. In essence, the feeds themselves are just web pages, designed to be read by computers rather than people.

How do I use feeds?

Programs that can interpret a web feed are called “news readers” or “news aggregators”. You can use a news reader to subscribe to thousands of feeds available on the Web – like the ones we provide above. Most readers are quite easy to use.

If you don’t already have a news reader, you will have to download or purchase one (most are free though), or sign up for an online news reader service. There are many free news readers available on the Internet. In fact, many web browsers (such as Firefox and the new version of Internet Explorer) and email programs (such as Thunderbird) have news readers built in so you may have one already! Once you have done this, you can subscribe to a feed by copying the URL (the web address) from the web feed logo next to the name of the feed you’re interested in, and add it to your reader. Read the help instructions in your news reader to find out the exact steps you need to take to subscribe to a web feed.
