News omes from us
This technology makes available information which can be used in different ways.
the most common is to collect all the feed rss made available in many sites in one container. This container is usually a programme which shows a news index for every site and keeps it updated controlling news on the respective site at a pre-set time intervals. When there is a new item on the site the container programme can let us know with a visual or sound signal.
This will enable us to select a series of interesting sites and keep an eye on the news.
