Introduction
Since June 2004 DS-x2 has a RSS 2.0 feed available for you, whether you're 'normal' reader or a news-aggregator from another website. The 3 different feeds are available here:

The feeds can be easily integrated using popular RSS and XML compatible readers, such as the Opera browser and the Instant Messenger client Trillian.
The DS-x2 Klip
In addition to the RSS-Feed we provide a Klip™ file for use in the KlipFolio™ program by Serence.
What is KlipFolio?
Serence KlipFolio is a free information awareness and notification application for Windows. It's quick to install, easy to use and highly-customizable. More info...
What does KlipFolio do?
KlipFolio lets you configure and monitor a wide variety of real-time information services on your desktop--like weather, stocks, breaking news, rss feeds or auctions. These information services are called Klips, and there are hundreds of them available at KlipFarm™.
To make sure you always have the latest headlines from our news-page at your fingertips, we have created a DS-x2 Klip that you can download and use in your KlipFolio.

Q: Does the RSS/KlipFolio display all of DS-x2's News?
A: Both will show the latest 10 headlines and as a short description you will see the text which also appears on our news-page. If you're interested, you can click the headline and you'll be brought to the appropriate page containing the full news.
Q: Can the RSS Feed be used as a custom news feed for say a program like Trillian?
A: Yes, of course, that's what its for. Any RSS Aggregator that reads RSS 2.0 can display this feed. Most programs compatible with RSS 0.9x should also be able to display this feed, since the differences between 2.0 and 0.9x are really small.
