If you’re in the market for a new home, or are looking to refinance, you probably find yourself visiting the same Web sites over and over again searching for the information you need. Now there’s a better way. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) enables you to receive targeted info on the topic of your choice without having to check numerous sites and without cluttering up your email inbox.
Through the LendingTree Smart Borrower Center you can get RSS news feeds on a wide variety of topics. Looking to buy a home? You can choose to get updates on the housing market. Looking for a mortgage? You can select to receive all the latest info on home loans. Or, you can subscribe to news feeds about saving money, buying and selling a home, getting out of debt, and more.
In fact, LendingTree has recently introduced a new RSS feed entitled “7 for 7.” Sign up for this new feed and each Monday morning you’ll receive seven smart money tips -- one for each day of the week.
Bridget Smith, editor in chief of the Smart Borrower Center, says, “We know most people consider financial advice about as enjoyable as a trip to the dentist.” Finding the information you need can also be overwhelming. She describes “7 for 7” as an easy way to get useful money management advice that “cuts through the clutter.”
Indeed, RSS itself helps to cut through the clutter. It’s as simple as its name implies. You can choose to either have the information delivered directly to your computer by downloading a desktop newsreader, or set up an account to have it delivered to a Web-based news aggregator. And most newsreaders are available at no cost.
Then, once you’ve set up where you want your RSS feeds to go, all you have to do is subscribe to the particular feeds you want and you’ll start receiving content in your reader immediately. You can subscribe to as many feeds as you want, and you can add, edit or delete your subscriptions at any time.
If you’re reading an interesting article or column and want to be sure to get the latest updates on the subject sent directly to you, look for an icon or button with the letters RSS or XML (the programming language used to create the feed) or simply the words NEWS FEEDS, like used on LendingTree. Other sites mark their feeds with a small orange square containing a series of curved lines representative of broadcast waves.
