RSS is a Web content syndication format, and Beyond3D offers a number of feeds for you to consume, all of which are listed below. Currently you can grab our front page news and filter by category, and in the near future we'll offer feeds for all kinds of content including our 3D resources, reviews, interviews, articles and more. Stay tuned.

You'll need to use a news reader, also known as an aggregator, to consume the feeds and use them to get content from Beyond3D. That could be in the form of a standalone software application for your chosen operating system, or it could be via subscription functionality right in your browser. Firefox's Live Bookmarks feature is an example of in-browser RSS consumption, and it's a good RSS citizen that won't abuse our resources.

On Windows, FeedReader is great, while on Mac OS X we like NewsFire, and on Linux we like Straw. There are dozens of others though, if you don't like that triplet of suggestions and you can find a huge list of aggregators at rss-specifications.com (including those for PDAs).

The vBulletin software that powers the Beyond3D discussion forum has built-in RSS feed functionality. To consume its RSS 2.0 feeds, you need to build the URL yourself depending on the forum sections you're interested in. The URL takes the following format:

http://forum.beyond3d.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids={1},{2},{3},...{n}

Where {1}...{n} are the IDs of the forums that you want delivered in your feed. Here's the list of IDs you can use and the forum section that matches up with it.
