Feed Builder for FindSportsNow

Uhmm, What is a feed?
A feed is a listing of a website's content. It is updated whenever the site has new content available. Feed readers "subscribe" to feeds, which means they download the feeds, check if it has been updated, and then present them to you in your feed reader. A feed might contain a list of story headlines, a list of excerpts from the stories, or a list containing each story from the website (our news feeds contain sports listings). All feeds will have a link back to it's corresponding website, so if you see a headline, excerpt, or listing you like, you can click on the link for that piece of content and will be taken to the website to read it.

Wait -- How do I subscribe to FindSportsNow's feeds?
First, use the Feed Builder we have provided on the page shown above. As you make selections from the drop down menu's, the available feeds will be displayed on the right side of the Feed Builder table. Next, determine which feed(s) you are interested in. Most modern web-browsers have a built in feed reader, so you can simply click the link provided. However, if you are using an older browser or prefer to use a specific feed reader:

1. Click the "Show URL" link
2. Copy the URL provided (shown below the "Show URL" link)
3. Paste it into your feed reader

Where can I find a list of all FindSportsNow feeds?
We are pretty sure that you won't want us to generate a full list of all our available feeds. If we had, you would have to look through over 43 million feeds. That's exactly why we have developed the Feed Builder, to help you find the feeds that are most important to you.

What is a feed reader?
A feed reader (also known as an aggregator) is simply a tool that can be used to manage all of your subscribed feeds. It's main job is to let you know whenever any of your subscribed feeds have new information. A feed reader can either be a piece of software you download or it can be web-based tool.

Should I be using feeds?
In order to answer this question, you need to ask yourself a question. Do you repetitively go to the same web pages looking for updated information? For example, you might daily go to web sites for news, sports, blogs, etc. If this sounds like you, then you should definitely be using feeds. The entire purpose of feeds is to save you from the hassle of going to each of the web pages to check for updated information. Instead, you simply subscribe to the feed and your feed reader will let you know when new information becomes available. Then you can see a preview of the information (through your feed reader) and decide whether or not to click the feed link for further information.
