RSS Feeds Arrive in Bing News
This may have slipped under the radar for some but I reckon this is a fantastic update that will have me using Bing News far more often on my Microsoft Surface. It could also be a handy alternative for those facing the prospect of being orphaned by the shutdown of Google Reader.
In the most recent update, you can now add RSS feeds as a news source. It’s really simple to do as follows:
- Open Bing News,
- Under the Get Started section tap/click Add a source,
- Enter in the URL to the RSS feed in the box and tap the search button at the end,
- Once the results show up underneath, tap the plus symbol at the right end of the box to add it.
- Repeat as necessary to add all feeds.
Another handy feature is that your feeds will sync across to your other Windows 8 and Windows RT devices to give you a similar experience to how Google Reader worked. However, the sync can take a little while to work its magic so you might need to be a little patient.

My name is Boyd and I’m a Service Management Specialist with a knack for operational data gathering, transformation, analysis and reporting.
In 2012, I obtained my Masters of Science in Information Technology through the University of New South Wales @ The Australia Defence Force Academy (UNSW@ADFA).
I was also part of an online community known as the Panasonic Insider Crew in the capacity of “Insider Guru” for Panasonic Australia where I interacted with other tech enthusiasts and find out more about Panasonic's latest gadgets.
I love technology, gadgets, and the Internet and maintain a keen interest in these areas locally, nationally, and globally. I hope by sharing my views on these topics that people will receive an honest point of view from someone with a genuine interest in these topics.
