RSS

From MB Wiki

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" and is a new way for websites to publish, or "syndicate", information to their users without requiring them to come to the website itself. Users generally subcribe with an RSS reader or aggregator, but functionality is now also being integrated into most popular web browsers. When new information is published, the RSS feed is automatically updated and the user is notified that there is new information available to look at. If you want to be provided with continually up to date information without much effort, then you should start using RSS.

At the moment, the only publicly available RSS feeds are for a user's public activities. To find your own RSS feed URL to share with your friends or publish on your blog, go to your Account Summary page and find the Public Activities Feed.

There are plans to make available many more RSS feeds, such as for specific locations, activity types, and even for specific customized queries. More information will be provided on release.
