RSS stream

Interested in what’s going on, but don’t have the time to visit lausanne.ch regularly to catch up on the very latest happenings? Then it makes sense to subscribe to the RSS stream to get automatic updates focused on selected topics.

What does RSS stand for ?

RSS is the abbreviation for Really Simple Syndication or RDF Site Summary and denotes a range of XML formats used to syndicate web content. The articles are converted into a file which can be read by RSS readers ( Netvibes,  Google Reader,  Apple Safari). Readers can be entirely separate software programs, or they may be functions integrated directly into the messaging or browsing system. A particular case is the  Firefox browser, which offers a dynamic bookmark system.

These readers can be configured, so you can decide for yourself which sources you want to receive. The reader reads the news wires to which you have subscribed and alerts you to the new content. If you are interested in a particular item, you just click on it and your web browser then posts the item in its entirety.

This system is normally used to send updates of sites whose content changes frequently, typically news sites, blogs or our programme of events.

By subscribing to the RSS wire below, you can find out the latest information quickly without having to visit the actual website:

	Evénements culturels
	Evénements sportifs
	Monthly news from Lausanne Tourisme

To subscribe to the RSS wire, just cut and paste the above addresses into your reader.
