What is a feed?

A "feed" is a summary of web content that is updated regularly to keep members informed of the latest changes to a page or listing. Land Surveyors United uses the Really Simple Syndication (RSS) 2.0 feed format. For example, if you subscribe to a Smarket store's feed, you'll receive automatic updates whenever a new listing appears in that Store.

Feeds help us make content more accessible, and they allow you to easily see new content. A summary or headline view lets you quickly scan recent content changes, and headlines are linked to appropriate content.

How to subscribe to a feed

To subscribe to a feed, you'll need an RSS reader. To subscribe, copy and paste the URL of a page into your reader, and follow the instructions provided for that reader.

Marketplace Hubs are places where content changes on a regular basis. To make it easy for you to see recent changes and updates in Smarketplace, you can view their content in as RSS feeds which update to at least 3 places, simultaneously.

  1. Your new posts will be included inside a digest for members of Land Surveyors United who follow your Hub.

  2. Your Post will be Viewable on your Smarket Page inside the Virtual Mall

  3. Your Post will be mentioned on our Twitter/Facebook page

there are literally hundreds of other things we can do with your feeds. I've built magazines, newsletters, mobile apps, you name it from RSS feeds. Have an idea? Let me know
