A feed is an easy to use way of keeping up to date with lists of information on the web.
You normally subscribe to a feed using a feed reader which collects together all the feeds you subscribe to and also provides a way of unsubscribing should you get tired of a feed. Many browsers have feed readers built in, as do most email clients. In fact, a good way of thinking about feeds, is as a cross between subscribing to an email newsletter and regularly visiting website's news section.
Through the wonders of volunteering I can skipper a narrowboat, coppice trees, spout forth about Tudor brickworking, sing Japanese folk songs and I've been to countries that you can't get a Lonely Planet Guidebook for. I work in volunteer engagement at Diabetes UK but posts here are my own.
