What Is RSS?

The basics

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an XML-based format for content distribution (more). Below, CBS Interactive Pte Ltd offers several RSS feeds with headlines, descriptions and links back to CBS Interactive Pte Ltd for the full story.

CBS Interactive Pte Ltd reserves the right to require you to cease distributing the CBS Interactive Pte Ltd content at any time for any reason. See usage guidelines.

Any questions, comments, or concerns? We're interested in how our readers employ these feeds. Let us know! Email us.

For more details on RSS, start with the RSS 2.0 specification. CNET is currently using the RSS 2.0 format. The specification includes samples of earlier versions.

Usage Guidelines

We share, be fair

We encourage you to use these feeds, so long as you do not post our full-text stories, and so long as you provide proper attribution to CNET Asia.

Whenever you post CNET Asia content on your web site or anywhere else, please provide attribution to CBS Interactive Pte Ltd, either as text (CNET Asia is our site name) or with a graphic (we reference a small 88x31 logo in each feed for this purpose) if you use the feeds publicly -- meaning, where anyone but yourself will read them.

CNET Asia reserves all rights in and to the logo, and your right to use the logo is limited to providing attribution in connection with the RSS. We don't require anything dramatic, but we do ask that you always note the source of the information.
