iTalk Whoa! Now With RSS Feeds!

Hey guys still remember the iTalk Whoa posts that I have shared few times back? Besides the recent Hari Raya Promotion, you still can enjoy lowest call rate at 7sens/minutes.

Well I still remember long time back during the iTalk Whoa Launch with BunkFace @ Borneo. I looks different compared to now ;p

So today I would like to share something new about iTalk Whoa! RSS Feeds.

clip_image004 RSS is short for "Really Simple Syndication". It sounds like a mouthful but it is just a label.

The beauty of RSS Feeds:

RSS Feeds enable you to get news feeds and updates on any topics that interest you fast and easy. You don’t have to check or be on the lookout on what’s coming.

It delivers the headline, short summary and a link back to the full text every time an RSS news feed is updated.


How does it benefit you?

  • If you have been worried about giving your name and email address to subscribe to any newsletter, the RSS feed in iTalk Whoa! has come to your rescue. Subscribing to RSS feed does not require you to do so. No more e-mails and no spams too. Your privacy is assured.
  • You will get updates automatically on your iTalk Whoa’s account.
  • For those who have got used to bookmaking pages, this is no longer necessary.
  • If you are a content owner or publisher, you are able to distribute your contents without being sent to the junk folder.
