One of the coolest features of GATT 9.0 is RSS support.
RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication and basically means you can pipe the content of the GATT site to any external source you like.
Sounds pretty technical but in reality, it is DOG EASY.
The best and most practical use I've found for this feature, is being able to read all the posts made on the site in a neat little application called SharpReader.
SharpReader is an RSS Aggregator or News Reader. Think of it as MSN Messenger for websites. It sits there in your system tray, minding it's own business, but when a new message is posted on gatt, it pops up, msn style in your system tray, notifying you of the post. Pretty damn sweet.
You don't miss a beat and it saves you countless clicks to get to the site and respond on your favourite topics.
The messages show up as plain text previews, but one click on the subject and you get the full html graphical glory. This is stuff to write home about. I kid you not.
Our RSS url is as follows:
http://gatt.carigamers.com/index.php?type=rss;action=.xml;limit=100You can grab SharpReader here: (yes it is free)
http://www.sharpreader.net/Once you have installed sharpreader, just copy and paste our RSS url into SharpReader, subscribe to it and away you go.
Feel free to try it out in other programs that support RSS. (Firefox, NewsGator, etc...)
