General information
RSS
RSS (Really Simple Syndication)
news feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content.
You can get the latest headlines and video in one place, as soon as
its published, without having to visit the websites you have taken
the feed from.
RSS feeds are read using news
reader software. There are different versions about, some of which
are accessed using a browser (Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari), and
some of which are downloadable applications (Newz Crawler,
FeedDemon, Awasu).
Browser-based news readers let you
catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer,
whereas downloadable applications let you store them on your main
computer, in the same way that you either download your e-mail
using Outlook, or keep it on a web-based service like Hotmail.
You can access all of the latest
news and appeals from Hertfordshire Constabulary via an RSS feed on
the Constabulary's 
official Twitter®
page.
