How to use RSS feeds?
Generally, in order to view our RSS feeds on your computer, you will first need to acquire an RSS Reader, a RSS Web module, or a Desktop Dashboard. To add a CBC RSS channel, click on the appropriate button, copy the URL and paste it into your RSS application. It's simple!
An alternative to downloading a dedicated news reader is to use a Web-based news reader such as Google Reader. My Yahoo! users can now add RSS feeds directly to their personal page. RSS Feeds are also used to populate NetVibes. Take a look at our NetVibes CBC Universe.
You can now also get the latest headlines on your mobile using our RSS feeds.
You can also publish free daily headlines on your personal website or your company's internet site by using our Free Headlines service, which is powered by our RSS feeds.
Accessing an RSS feed is just like podcasting, in that you subscribe to a feed. The difference between RSS feeds and podcast feeds is that you receive text content instead of audio content.
