iTalk Whoa! RSS Feed

Monday, Nov 8, 2010

What is RSS? I’m thinking all the way since the first time saw RSS. Therefore, I’m truly curious about it and wanted to find it out but seems like only description is shown.
Now, italk whoa is fixing this feature which known as RSS feeds to allow me to have these chances physically using RSS. (Really Simple Syndication).


Let’s us start some description before go through more details. Actually RSS feeds enable you to get news feeds and updates on any topics that interest you fast and easy. Normally we need to click on the topic to know the keystone but now you don’t have to check or be on the lookout on what’s coming, It delivers the headline, short summary and a link back to the full text every time an RSS news feed is updated.


Besides this, do RSS feeds benefit us? My answer is Yes, it does.


Why say so? as a blogger, i have been worried about giving my name and email address to subscribe to any newsletter but the RSS feed in iTalk Whoa has come to my rescue. Subscribing to RSS feed does not require me to do so. No more e-mails and no spams too. Now, our privacy is assured. Others features such as updates automatically on your iTalk Whoa’s account, no longer got used to bookmaking pages and distribute your contents without being sent to the junk folder.


Let’s start on how to configure RSS feeds on your iTalk Whoa’s account?
