last link on the left

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a way of summarising the latest news and information of a web site and delivering it to subscribers. In other words, the Last Link on the Left can now come to you.

How does it work?

The latest version of most popular web browsers already have a "news reader" or "news aggregator" built in.

If you're already running the latest and greatest, simply click on the link found near the top our pages or in your browser's address or tool bar.

If your browser doesn't have an RSS reader, they are freely available along the many tubes of the interweb (see below).

After you've installed a reader, copy and paste (or drag) the URL of the feed (that's that http thing in your browser's address bar) into the appropriate field of your reader and you're done.

The Last Link currently has two feeds:

Once you've subscribed, Last Link updates are retrieved automatically while you surf and are saved in the background by your reader for consumption at your convenience.

RSS Readers

There are numerous RSS readers available for free download and/or purchase on the internet. The referring links below are not under the control of the Last Link and are provided solely for the convenience of our users. As always, your own mileage may vary.
