Tip time boys and girls. Today we have a relatively straight forward tip: Subscribing to RSS feeds. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It allows information to be published in a standard XML format that can be accessed via a URL. This is less of a tip than of a reminder, actually. Nearly every list of anything on GGE is available as a RSS feed. The most useful feed in my opinion is the My feed, in My account. I like to keep up with all of the new games as they come in, but the feed in your account is where all the information is: who is recommending what, who plays what, and who is adding what.

The brilliant part is that you can add this feed to virtually any feed aggregator. There are tons of them out there, just look at a google search for “rss readers.” I prefer google reader, but you are free to use whichever service you prefer. You can also drag and drop the rss icon into the toolbar of applicable web browsers and read the feed that way.

The easiest way to subscribe is to click on the subscribe button:

Then, just copy and paste the URL of the feed into your RSS Reader. It’s that simple. Remember that nearly all of the lists on GGE (new games, most viewed profiles, recent gamers, etc.) are RSS feeds that you can subscribe to.
