In this way, news sources can be indexed and accessed from anywhere online without someone having to manually wade through a myriad site layouts. The idea behind RSS (and adapted in other hypertext and object-based systems) is that news sites (like AAWP!) can automatically publish a machine-readable version of their main content - this will typically contain the various meta-text, keywords, titles, perhaps an image or two and an opening paragraph for each story. RSS (XML, ATOM) news reading sounds like something technical that's too much work to set up, but with Newsflow, after an initial customising period in your hands, you'll have access to bang up to date news sources with minimal effort. This time it's something that's both old-school and exciting at the same time. Another day, another sumptuous Universal Windows Platform application to review.
