:: Feeds ::

Publishing news feeds is a method by which content web sites can distribute just their content (no formatting) to readers by publishing a standard XML file to which they can subscribe.

Most major news web sites provide these RSS feeds to their readers who then use software or other tools to automatically pull in and format the feeds to what best suits them.

RSS feed reading software and tools like My Yahoo! or Google Reader can display the RSS feed in a custom readable format that you specify.

You can use BlastCasta to harness the power of feeds by placing fresh news (from any feed source) onto your site. You can customize the look-and-feel of these news items to fit into the style of your own website. Conversely, if your site offers feeds, you can make them available to your site visitors to not only subscribe to them for a fresh news source, but also provide your site visitors with an easy way to resyndicate them on their own sites and in turn direct traffic to you!

In addition, you can also make it easy for your visitors to subscribe to, mix, filter, and add your feeds or podcast links to their websites by using our feed landing page.

Podcast feeds are a form of feed that are typically of the multimedia variety. They provide titles and summaries usually, but link to multimedia files, rather than web pages with content.
