What is an RSS feed?
RSS is a format used by a number of organisations to share news. You can subscribe to an 'RSS feed' and then use an 'RSS reader' to view the information in the feed. A feed is a URL (web address) which supplies the news upon request. A reader is a program which displays the news for you. Your reader may be on a website, an addon to your browser, part of your email program, or a stand-alone program.

The bookmarks feed is in RSS2 format. There are two feeds in each space:
- A feed for the bookmarks saved in a particular space. This might be:
- Your personal space, where you store all the bookmarks of interest to you, as well as the bookmarks you have sent to other people.
- A global space, where you or other people store bookmarks relevant to that space.
- A feed for the bookmarks labelled for a particular space. This might be:
- Your personal space, where you can see the bookmarks other people have sent to you.
- A global space, where you or other people have sent bookmarks relevant to that space.
To subscribe to the bookmarks saved in a particular space,
- Go to 'Browse' and select 'Bookmarks' from the dropdown list. The 'Space Bookmarks' screen will appear.
- Click the 'Bookmarks in <space name>' link.
- This will display all the bookmarks which have been saved in this space. Get your feed from the link labelled 'Bookmark RSS Feed'. There are a few ways to add the feed to your RSS reader:
- Drag the link into your RSS reader.
- Or right-click the link and copy the link location, then paste it into your RSS reader.
- Or click the link to open the feed in your browser. Then copy the feed URL from the browser's address bar and paste it into your RSS reader.
