This page lists all of the RSS and Twitter feeds available from the Financial Times. RSS (Really Simple Syndication, or Rich Site Summary if you prefer) feeds contain headlines, links and descriptions and are updated as the website is updated with new stories. RSS is a great way of keeping up-to-date with breaking news, or simply even being informed on new content on webpages that you like. Accessing RSS feeds is really simple (really simple syndication remember):
You can download software (e.g. FeedDemon) or subscribe to a news reader service such as Google Reader or Bloglines. You can add RSS feeds to a personalised web page such as Pageflakes or iGoogle, alternatively, depending upon the web browser that you are using, you can access feeds directly through your browser.
Twitter seems to be the Web 2.0 application du jour allowing you to send text updates on what you are up to (er, looking at Twitter)and reading what other users are doing (er, looking at Twitter), in the form of 140-character maximum "tweets". DBS Library twitter updates can be seen by moving your eyes a little to the right (while this post is at the top of the page) or clicking here
