What Is RSS?

The basics

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

CNET Networks Asia Pacific Pte Ltd reserves the right to require you to cease distributing the CNET Networks Asia Pacific Pte Ltd content at any time for any reason. See usage guidelines.

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 CNET Networks Asia Pacific 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.
