Keeping in touch with Greenpeace

Keeping up with everything that's happening at Greenpeace is a challenge - I work here and sometimes I find it a struggle. But we have got some nifty services to make that a whole lot easier and instead of coming here to find out what the latest news is, we can come to you instead.

For instance, there's a automated service which will send an email when we publish new stories or information on the site. It's a daily digest so you won't be bombarded with emails, and if we don't publish anything you won't receive anything. Also included are links from our del.icio.us page which we use to bookmark interesting news items, blog stories and videos from elsewhere on the web, so you can see what we've been reading in the office.

Follow this link to subscribe to (almost) daily updates from this blog (it takes about two seconds), but we also have email updates for other sections on the site such as press releases, report or videos. Or you can pick the campaign topics you're interested in and updates on those - here's the full list.

This isn't to be confused with our ebulletin which is hand-crafted work of art sent out whenever we have a new action you can get involved with or we have a 'stop the press' kind of story. To receive that, subscribe here.

We also have a whole library of RSS feeds - I've left those until last as people's eyes often glaze over when I mention them. These are also updated everytime we publish new stories on the site, although you'll need to install a newsreader on your computer or create an account on a web-based one. Confused? This video might help:

If you want to try this out, find out more about RSS feeds, or if you just want to find the right feed, here's all you need to know.
