@cbrown:

It really depends on your RSS reader. For example my desktop RSS reader (Feedreader) automatically pulls my RSS data for me. I do not need to login to anything. I just click on an icon on my taskbar to access all my data. In addition, my RSS reader also keeps a complete history of my account. I can go back as far as I want and see what kind of activity occurred as well as mark certain events as read and perform search an sorts. Lastly, RSS is pretty universal these days, so you can use it with your many mobile devices when you are on the go.

Isn’t logging into the RSS reader as much trouble as simply loggng into your FB acct to see what has been happening. I know this is huge for some and I ‘get’ what RSS is …. but I am still not completely grasping why this is important or how it would be really userul in the day to day of my biz. I suspect there IS a big reason… but I’m not seeing it yet.

[...] You’ll find there are blogs that you’ll come back to again and again – the experts. This might go without saying, but why not cut out the middle man and add them to your feed reader? [...]

I still don’t understand about RSS thingy and find it very confusing! Daniel, do you enjoy using it? Oh yes, I forgot to send you a video link re that annoying mini form! LOL LOL

It would be great if you add a video to train us how to add RSS!

Hi Anita,

Good question. The RSS feed can actually be very useful, it provides information on all of your FreshBooks recent activity that you would see when you log into your account on your home tab.

Information such as whether someone paid an invoice, created a support ticket, or a created a new invoice is all streamed to your RSS reader without you having to log into your FreshBooks account.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi, the RSS feed feature in your product seems neat, except, what would the feed tell you? As a customer, what would I use my feed in Freshbooks for?

I know all about RSS, I just don’t follow what the feed will tell me about my Freshbooks account (which I just set up and have not yet used).

Thanks,
Anita

Hi Karl,

Instructions on how to add a normal RSS feed to My MSN or My Yahoo, can be found at the following web addresses:

http://my.yahoo.com/s/rss-faq.html#addrss

If you wish to subscribe to your FreshBooks’ system RSS feed. You will need to use a secure reader. I am not sure if Yahoo and MSN support both secure and password-protected feeds. However, FeedReader works great. Instructions on how to add your FreshBooks system RSS feed can be found at the following web address:
