What is RSS?

GM News RSS feeds allow you to gather the news from most of our global media Web sites at your own convenience. These feeds can replace or supplement the use of our SMS and e-mail notification systems. "RSS" comes from various descriptions including, "Really Simple Syndication," "RDF Site Summary," and "Rich Site Summary." RSS feeds are displayed on your computer as headlines and short summaries, and you can schedule them to search our sites for new information on short (minutes) to long (days) time intervals.

How to use RSS feeds?

Generally, in order to view our RSS feeds on your computer, you will first need to acquire an RSS Reader or an RSS Web module. To add a GM News RSS feed, use the GM News RSS Generator tool to select the countries, brands, and language you desire, then click the "Create RSS Feed" button, copy the generated URL and paste it into your RSS application. It's simple! An alternative to downloading a dedicated news reader is to use a Web-based news reader. For example, My Yahoo! users can now add RSS feeds directly to their personal page.

How do I get a News Reader?

There are many News Readers available on the web. Some can be downloaded for free, while other programs will charge for more customizable options. Furthermore, certain readers will work better on different operating systems. You will need to take these factors into account when you choose your software.
