Information about feeds

  • What are feeds?
    Feeds (sometimes called 'rss feeds') are basically headlines or news items from websites. For example, the New York Times publishes a Feed which contains the headlines from the latest articles available on the website. Feeds are usually realtime and therefore always contain the latest information from a website or a weblog. ScoopGO! searches through feeds you choose, therefore bringing you only the latest news from websites you choose.

  • How do I find feeds?
    If a website publishes one or more feeds, it's usually shown by one of the buttons shown below:

    When you see such a button, press on it to get the 'feed url'. This 'feed url' is the url you use when creating a Scoop on ScoopGO! For example, the 'feed url' for the CNN is http://www.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss. You can see more feed urls from CNN at http://www.cnn.com/services/rss/
