      We have considered this, but haven't made any moves to implement it. I think it likely to happen someday.

      An RSS is a text feed that can be read by browsers or special RSS applications, which give links to interesting or new things that are happening on the websites you 'subscribe' to.

        VidDude's definition is accurate, but left out what makes it cool. It means you can make yourself a "news" web page that you check out each (say) morning. It might have the top news stories from a reliable news source, but then also news items from sites like ours (with images and links), from other nerdy sites, music and magazine sites.

        So it's a way to build a website that customised especially for you (there are tools around that make this very easy). It sounds terribly geeky writing it down, but it has a lot of uses, and is becomming more powerful as people push the boundries.

        Another way we (as AW.com) can use it, is have out daily news rave and thumb appear on other people's sites. So, they get cred for having cool stuff ont heir site, and our site gets exposed to people who may never have heard about us otherwise.

        RSS feeds can be downlaoded on a portable device (new mobile phones, for example), so you can read the news of the day (or whatever) stuck in traffic / on the train / waiting for a bus, whatever.

        We do have plans to offer RSS feeds (for the last two years, really). They have always been lower priority, and no one - until now - has asked for them. So we might do it soon.

            Well yes. Of course I meant, apart from that, no one had asked.

              I have a MyYahoo page that has a whole bunch of RSS feeds, from the Sydney Morning Herald to Oddly Enough to cartoons and porn stuff. Very handy indeed.

                Abby;

                I am very interested in an RSS feed from AW. I download RSS to my PDA daily to get all my news. Adding AW to my PDA info would be nice to have.

                Hope it is soon.

                  I use RSS feeds to look at news: Mine includes Reuters news, Philly news, IT news, left-wing blogs, news about new electronic gadgets, a couple of humor feeds. I see all the news from the different feeds interspersed, most recent on top. It's integrated with my Yahoo email.

                  I wonder what the effort is to get this started. Implement some sort of engine to push out the feed, then a couple times a day type 'em in and push them out?

                    Add me to the people who would love to have RSS feeds available. I check the website daily to see what's new that I might like; if I had an RSS feed it would decrease the time I spend checking, and decrease the bandwidth I pull off the site.
