At Sesalos we recommend to all our clients that they use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. Here’s why:

Internet Explorer does not keep up
The main concern is that the internet is developing at an incredible rate and Internet Explorer (IE) is not keeping up with the right development trends. This has lead to new internet browser breaking into the market and providing a better technological platform and a more secure interface.

IE Market Share Dropping
IE does have the majority of market share but this is changing rapidly with IE market share dropping. Firefox is by far becoming the internet browser of choice with its market share almost doubling in the last 18 months. (Browser Stats). At the moment Firefox is the single most used internet browser on the market.

Firefox Works
Firefox works because they are focused. They are only a company who builds this internet browser. Therefore they are focused on the task at hand and do a great job at keeping up to date with technology.

Download Firefox – It’s Free!!
We recommend that you download Firefox. It has a bunch of really popular and time saving add-ons that make your web surfing experiencing that much better. Firefox can tell you more about what makes their browser so good themselves on this link.

I have had a few discussions lately with people about RRS Feeds and how great they are. The funny thing I find though is that most people don’t know anything about them. My entire world is wrapped around RSS Feeds because this helps me stay in touch with topics that interest me without having to visit hundreds of websites everyday and search for interesting articles etc. I guess it is at time like these that I must remember that not everyone spends all day, every day on the internet.

So here it is… a breakdown of RSS and how it can help you.

Really Simple Subscription

RSS stands for ‘Really Simple Subscription’! The idea is that any website that has an RSS feed can send you articles and news without you even going to their website. This saves you time and effort.

The Benefit of using RSS (Web Feeds)

Web feeds have some advantages compared to receiving frequently published content via email:

• When subscribing to a feed, users do not disclose their email address, so users are not increasing their exposure to threats associated with email: spam, viruses, phishing, and identity theft.
• If users want to stop receiving news, they do not have to send an “unsubscribe” request; users can simply remove the feed from their aggregator.
• The feed items are automatically “sorted” in the sense that each feed URL has its own sets of entries (unlike an email box, where all mails are in one big pile and email programs have to resort to complicated rules and pattern matching). (Wikipedia)

One of the best articles I have found on the internet that describes RSS in the simplest manner is available on About.com here.
