There’s a lot of information out there on the web - billions of pages on millions of sites that you may or may not be interested in. You probably have a few favourite sites that you like to read on a regular basis - to keep up with the latest news or developments. That can become a bit of a chore - checking a few or ten or thirty sites a day.
If you’re one of these people, RSS may be your saviour - if you’re not, it may still be a useful tool! Nestoria has RSS built in, which means (if you follow the steps outlined below) that you can get the latest property listings for the search you are interested in delivered straight to your computer!
RSS (which stands for ‘Really Simple Syndication’) is a new way of displaying and delivering website content.
To get started, you need a ‘News Reader’ - there are many available (try a google search). Your news reader will automatically collect all the latest information from sites that you ’subscribe’ to.
You normally subscribe to a website by clicking on a button representing the RSS feed (normally
or
) - then following the normal steps for your news reader.
Once you have subscribed to a site, you can then read all the latest information right there in your news reader, without having to navigate to the site first.
As we all know - time is money (or time better spent doing something fun, like playing tiddlywinks).
Try doing a search for property now - as detailed as you like (e.g. 2 Bed flats and houses in Highbury, Costing less that ??400,000), then click on the orange ‘RSS’ button to the top right - you’ll then get the latest results for this search without having to go to the site again and again!
You can also subscribe to this blog by using the orange ‘RSS’ button to the right.
