Here at KUAM.COM we make it a priority to stay on the cutting edge of technology and give you as many options as possible for accessing your favorite information. One of the ways we do this is with RSS - Really Simply Syndication - an XML-based format that's cross-platform (meaning you can use RSS regardless if you're on a PC, Mac or UNIX machine. This gives you easy, one-time subscription-based access to your favorite information sources.

You need only an RSS aggregator program (most of which are free) to access ours and other feeds. Freeware programs such as Thunderbird, iPodderX, NewsGator, RSS Bandit, BlogMatrix, LiteFeeds and countless more can all be used to subscribe to an unlimited number of RSS feeds from all over the Internet and display their information. (I personally subscribe to several hundred such feeds for things like my favorite news sources, magazines, blogs, podcasts, photostreams, product updates, webcasts, and more.)

I'm therefore proud to announce a few new RSS feeds we've added to our family, with several more to come in the very near future. We're making Familiar Faces, the region's most popular source for community images, available for the first time as an RSS feed, so that you can see the latest pictures of your friends and family members online. As a community service, we're also including the daily police blotter from our friends at the Guam Police Department. Some of the feeds we'll be adding in the future are RSS extensions of some of the services you've used for years on KUAM.COM, some will be standalone feeds of existing data we produce, and some will be brand new features we've never done before.

Here's a snapshot of the URLs you'll need to subscribe to our RSS feeds:
