Alienware RSS Feeds

What is RSS?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is an XML-based format used for sharing and distributing Web content, such as news headlines. Alienware.co.uk offers a RSS feed that includes all the latest Alienware news and offers. RSS is useful for two main reasons:

  1. You can be notified of updates from many websites, such as Alienware.co.uk, without having to visit them.
  2. You can read the latest updates from your favourite websites from one convenient location such as in a RSS reader (aggregator) or on a personalized page which are now available from Google, Yahoo and Microsoft.
How do I access RSS?

At present there are three ways to access RSS feeds. The first is through web-based feed readers, the second are browser-based feed readers, also know as aggregators and the third are desktop readers.

Web-based feed readers, such as Windows Live™, Google's Personalised Homepage, and MyYahoo allow you to have all your favourite feeds displayed on a personalised webpage. This means your favourite feeds will be available to you on any PC no matter where you are located.

Browser-based feed readers (aggregators) can be added to your browser as a plugin. Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox browsers come equipped with built-in readers.

Desktop readers can be downloaded to your PC and appear as a Gadget on your desktop. Some popular readers include Feedreader for PCs and NetNewsWire for Macs.
