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.
