RSS Feeds on WAP

Something that I’ve been meaning to do for ages is to setup an area on Click4WAP for displaying syndicated web content on WAP pages using RSS feeds to keep it all up to date. I finally got round to starting on it and wotduya know! It’s been a nice experience so far! The wonderful thing will be the shear amount of extra content that will be available to WAP mobile users soon. All the major online news services from around the World will be available and also the local ones that use RSS, if I find them :-)

Most RSS news feeds provided by web sites will generally have a number of the very latest stories with headlines and a short amount of text to give you a flavour of the story. This will suit mobiles very well I think. By browsing over several different news feeds you can very quickly cover alot of news services and get a flavour of what’s going on around the World very quickly.

Look out for the RSS content on Click4WAP coming very soon! If you have any favourite sites on the web that use RSS news feeds you feel should be available please comment below and we will try to build it in.

The content below has been created in a simular way to how I’m going to build it for the mobile pages of Click4WAP.
