If you were to pick between coming to Indian Guitar Tabs (IGT) and letting IGT come to you, what would you choose?
For those who prefer the latter, RSS feeds are available for free.
RSS feeds can update headlines on your computer software as they change through sections at IGT. New Threads, Latest Tabs/Chords, Hot Happening at Chit-Chat, etc. Content can fly to your desktop faster than it takes to say 'What's new?'

New Movies and RSS feeds
Hey, if you want to become an RSS feeds guru, or at least sound like one, here's enough gyan for the party this weekend…
What does RSS mean?
RSS (really simple syndication) is a format for distributing and aggregating all kinds of content on the Web.
What do IGT RSS feeds do?
They gather information of all things happening on the forum - and deposit them all on your desktop. So, in effect, if you don't stop by the site, the headlines pretty much pay your PC a visit.
How do I read these feeds?
Once information about news items is in RSS format, RSS reader software can check for changes and updates. These headlines will appear on your screen with a summary. If you like what you see, you can always click through to the full copy on the IGT site.
Some free RSS readers are…

- RSSConnect: http://www.perfectxml.com/RSSConnect/

I have the RSS reader. Now what?
Now you need RSS feeds to read. Just like the ones IGT has provided on this page. Each feed is just like the address of a Web page. All you need to do is use the 'subscribe' function of your RSS reader to start receiving updates from a particular feed.
Makes sense. But what about XML?
'Extensible markup language', or XML, splits information (be it content or images) by markers like 'tabs', 'lyrics', 'Feedback', or just about anything else, making it easier for computers to locate specific information using those markers. They are just descriptive labels for the content they hold! Thus it makes more sense to the computer while displaying the content to it and of course it makes a hell lot of relaxation for the content organizer
Welcome to a whole new Internet experience. With IGT RSS/XML.
