You don’t have to be a news outlet or a blogger to take advantage of RSS. The city of San Carlos, California, has introduced its first RSS feed, “What’s New on the Web.” According to the trade Government Technology, “This will enable interested Internet viewers with RSS enabled software to receive notification and copies of new information on the city’s Web site the same day it is posted, without visiting the Web site itself or the need for an email subscription.” The site is also employing Macromedia Flash Paper, which lets visitors view paper documents that download much faster than PDFs.
