really simple syndication

by Daniel Larsen

The New Zealand Herald have started syndicating their content using RSS. RSS is a worldwide technical standard for sharing content between web sites and users. Many people use "RSS News Readers" to subscribe to syndicated content from their favourite web sites like cartoons, new reports and horoscopes. But the real potential for this technology is when web sites start sharing content with other web sites.

Now that the NZ Herald have gone with RSS I am happy to declare the New Zealand web space has caught up with the U.S as far as content sharing technology goes, and now it is time to start exploiting the opportunities that this presents.

Did you know that Klixo's Web Site Manager allows you to put NZ Herald Headlines on the front page of your web site? Klixo is one of the few Content Management Systems (CMS) that allows you to do this as standard, because Klixo is an XML based CMS.

Talk to us about how RSS technology can enhance your web site.

Here are a few of the great RSS feeds that we have used on our web sites and that we rate highly:
