How to use RSS?
First, you'll need to install a feed reader, if you don't have one already. Choose between a Web based feed reader, an e-mail client, or a stand-alone application. For a Web based client, try using
Google Reader. Web based readers are a good option if you don't want to download any special software. An email client, such as
Newsgator or
Thunderbird, might be the best choice for you if you use an email program already. Consider using a stand-alone RSS aggregator such as
Feed Demon for Windows,
NetNewsWire for Mac OS X, or
Straw for Linux. Once you have a feed reader, the next step is to sign up for the Sliink feeds that interest you. Everywhere you see the

icon, is an available feed you can subscribe to.

How to selectively send to a group of friends?
When you create a Sliink or pass a Sliink along to someone else, you are given the choice "sliink recipients". By default,
"public" is checked off, which means your contacs are allowed to share this sliink with their friends. Alternatively, if you check off "private" your contacts cannot share this Sliinks with their contacts. In other words, the Sliink cannot be passed. The next option is "Send To", which gives you the option to send to everyone in your network, or selectively choose who will receive this Sliink. Selecting "select groups or contacts" opens up a new section with all your contacts and groups. As you check off the boxes next to the recipients they will appear under "Selected". Only the people who are listed under "Selected" will receive the Sliink. If you don't have any groups listed, you can add new groups by
editing your contacts.
