# RSS and Shared Links in OS X Yosemite

Apple has done something amazing for RSS in the latest version of Safari 8.0 in OS X Yosemite — clicking an RSS link now brings up a popup with an option to add the website to Shared Links:

[![Subscribe Pop-up in Safari for RSS subscriptions](https://kaspars.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/subscribe-popup-rss-safari.png?strip=all&quality=90&resize=800,436)](https://kaspars.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/subscribe-popup-rss-safari.png)Add this website to Shared Links?



Which adds the feed to Subscribed Feeds:

and the articles from the feed get combined with the links from your Twitter followers and other social accounts and appear in the Subscriptions sidebar:

Contrast this with the RSS experience before OS X Yosemite:
