i'm sure there are paid subscriptions for some of it, but i'm not subscribed to any; so those I suggest have to be FREE! Getting the precise url, something ending in .xml is worthy of note; and you paste that in the dialogue you use to set up new feeds. It's a while since I did this too; so memory flaky on the details.

Next question. Would I have to pay for the feeds? Are they added within Simple RSS? Oh just so much for this baby boomer to learn!

The collection is dynamic, so old ones roll off the end and new roll on at the beginning. This is like magazine browsing, this is what makes them good. Saves ploughing through a whole site looking for the odd links amongst the dross and ads.

Pardon my ignorance, what are these feeds? Do you have to pay for them? Curiously and looking for knowledge Reggie -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Grant Hardy Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 7:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Simple RSS, a great way to get push notifications for feeds Hi all, Just wanted to give a plug for Simple RSS, a free app for reading news feeds and receiving push alerts for new content. The app is not without its fair share of annoyances; you can't import from OPML files and you can't sync with Google Reader, only import from it. Where the app shines though is its amazingly fast push alerts for new articles. In my experience the lag is well under fifteen minutes and probably closer to five, which rivals paid apps which can often take an hour or two to provide the latest "push" alert. My Windows 8 PC is set to refresh every fifteen minutes, and Simple RSS's push alerts are beating it every time. It's pretty simple, easy to navigate, and has decent sharing features.
