There's a Popular New Code for Deals: RSS

FOR many people, e-mail newsletters are fast becoming the Internet
equivalent of the Sunday paper: compendiums of useful information,
often left unread in lieu of life's other tasks. E-mail alerts on
travel deals, in particular, can be easy to sign up for and equally
difficult to keep up with.
But those willing to spend a few minutes to create a personalized
home page on Yahoo, MSN, Google or other sites now have a useful
alternative. Recently, these sites began allowing consumers to
populate their home pages with similar information they'd find in e-
mail newsletters, with two added benefits: all the relevant
information from multiple sites appears on one page, instead of
multiple e-mails, and the information is often considerably fresher,
with several updates a week - or even a day.
What's more, the most recent information is there whenever you're in
the mood to check it, not when your e-mail tells you to.
