Description

Simbolic RSS Alert is a simple application for monitoring RSS feeds. It is about as simple as RSS monitoring can get and will only alert you that a feed has changed but not tell you what has changed. The main purpose of the application is for users who don't need a complete RSS application but would like to know when a couple of feeds have changed - like their friends photo collection. It has an option to integrate with the Microsoft RSS Platform (Requires IE7). You don't need IE7 if you only use the internal feed store.

Requirements

• Microsoft Windows with Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0

Known Problems

• Only supports RSS 2.0 for internal feeds. If Microsoft RSS Platform integration is enabled than all formats supported by the platform will work.
