Our news feeds contain new events & happenings in the Florida Keys. All feeds have a link to the page on our website where the story or information can be found.

A news reader (also known as a news aggregator) is simply a piece of software that you can use to read your subscribed news feeds. It is to news feeds what Outlook, Hotmail, and Entourage are to email. if you visit a lot of websites on daily basis, or read a lot of weblogs (or "blogs"), a news reader can save you a lot of time. Sites like ABCNews.com, Salon, and the New York Times all have syndicated feeds. Using a news reader get your favorite articles or websites means that you only need to visit a website when you read a story in your news reader that is of interest to you. You won't have to visit many sites multiple times every day to see if there are updates; your news reader will do that for you automatically and will let you know when there is a new story to be read! So if you visit a lot of websites regularly, or want to be alerted automatically when your favorite websites publish a new story, using a news reader might make sense for you. Some commonly used news readers are Feed Demon, Sharp Reader, and NewsGator (an Outlook plugin) for Windows, NetNewsWire and Shrook for Macs, and Bloglines.com for those who like web-based readers. You can find even more news readers at itopik.com.
Depending on whom you ask, the acronym RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication", "Rich Site Summary", or any of a handful of others. The meaning of the acronym is not terribly important, however. An RSS feed (also known as a news feed) is a site's syndicated news feed that you subscribe to using your news reader.
Syndication refers to the process that occurs when a publisher provides content in a form that can be consumed by software (like a news reader). The concept is similar to email: your Yankees-hating buddy Bob (the publisher) writes you an email about Derek Jeter's partying habits (the content). Your favorite email program (the software) receives the email, and probably alerts you with gentle "You've got mail!" With a syndicated feed, it works like this: the publisher publishes a story. Your favorite news reader (the software) sees that Florida Keys Info-Net has published a new story, and probably alerts you with a flashing icon on your screen. Can you put a news feed on my site ?
