Links To Exchange Rate RSS Feeds
What Are RSS Feeds?
RSS currency feeds allow you to see the exchange rates of selected currencies at regular intervals, or as soon as they are published, without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.
Feeds are also known as RSS. There is some discussion as to what RSS stands for, but most people plump for 'Really Simple Syndication'. In essence, the feeds themselves are just web pages, designed to be read by computers rather than people.
How do I start using feeds?
In general, the first thing you need is something called an RSS reader. This is a piece of software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new publications that have been added. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications.
Browser-based RSS readers let you catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, whereas downloadable applications let you store them on your main computer, in the same way that you either download your e-mail using Outlook, or keep it on a web-based service like Hotmail.
Selecting exchange-rate feeds?
Once you have chosen an RSS reader, all you have to do is to decide which exchange rates you want it to receive. For example, if you would like the latest U.S. Dollar rates, simply visit the U.S. Dollar section and you will notice an orange button
. If you click on this RSS button you can subscribe to the feed you want.
