Gambling News feed
News feeds are electronic streams of news and feature articles that are delivered to the end user directly from the publisher. This means that there is no middle man between the organisation publishing a news item and the individual reading it, so if you subscribe to a news feed you are guaranteed to get the material exactly as the publisher intended and within seconds of it being released.
News feeds are often called RSS feeds and most people use RSS to refer to Really Simply Syndication. That’s because an RSS news feed gives publishers a really simple way of syndicating their content. As far as you, the reader, are concerned, RSS feeds mean that you can obtain the exact type of information that you want and have it delivered to your desktop directly so that it is waiting for you whenever you want it – no browsing required!
To benefit from RSS news feeds you will need to use a piece of software known as a news reader. This converts the technical code used to create RSS news feeds into user-friendly text articles that you can read just as easily as you can read your emails.
News Readers
News readers are software applications that are often bundled with web browsers or can be downloaded and installed as browser plug-ins. You can also obtain news readers that are designed to be used independent of any other piece of PC software, including the browser. If you intend to use RSS news feeds on a regular basis then having a stand alone version is recommended, even if you have a browser reader already installed. That’s because stand alone news readers download the content of your feeds to your hard drive and allow you to read the downloaded news stories at your convenience – even when you aren’t connected to the internet.
Regardless of whether you want to use a browser news reader or a stand alone version, you have plenty of choice. Here are links to the most popular news readers for various operating systems and browsing environments:

Subscribing to News Feeds
When you have downloaded and installed your chosen RSS news reader, all you have to do is launch the reader and subscribe to the news feeds that you would like to receive automatically.
