Are you using all the features on Pocket-lint?

There are so many features now on Pocket-lint that we thought it might be a good time to remind you about all the benefits we can offer beyond our breaking news and reviews.

Listed below are some of the best:

Alerts
Did you know you can get alerts of our stories straight to your inbox based around a specific keyword? To get alerts, sign-up to become a member (don't worry it's free), go to the alerts page and type in the keywords you want to track, like "Apple" for example. Now whenever we write a story with the word "Apple" in it, you'll get an email telling you what's what.

PDF
Want to print one of our news stories or reviews out, but don't want it printed over 15 pages because your printer doesn’t like the web? No problem, with our PDF printing option you can print out the story designed specifically for an A4 sheet of paper. Just look for the Adobe PDF logo on every page underneath the picture.

Comments
You can now comment on the stories giving your opinions on all the news and reviews we post. Comments are open to all, although if you sign-up as a member and logged-in you don’t have to go through the verification process every time.

Tags
To help you find stories easily, we've grouped them into tags. You can see other stories we've written within the same group of tags by clicking on the tag within the tag box on every news story or review.

RSS feeds
Our RSS page means that not only can you get an RSS of our main site feed featuring all the news and reviews from the site, you can opt to have just news or reviews or both from all our channels. If that wasn't enough, you can also have an RSS feed on any tag on the site as well be it a company or a category, like "Laptops" for example.

URL shortcut
Here's one you might not be aware of. You can instantly see what news stories and reviews we've written within any tags by putting that tag after the URL in the address bar, for example www.pocket-lint.co.uk/laptops

Save pages
Found a story, but want to come back to it later? Again, no problem. Members get to save pages to their profile for later. With no limit on the amount you can save or how long you can save them for, it's your chance to keep to hand the news stories, or reviews that are most interesting to you, without the hassle of having to search for them every time.

Reader reviews
With over 3000 reviews on the site there is plenty for you to read, and chances are you've got some of those gadgets too, so why not rate and review those products and share your experiences?

Newsletter
Want to keep up with the best stories on the site? Then sign-up to our daily or weekly newsletter. The daily newsletter gets sent out just before lunch every day while the weekly one gives you the top ten stories across the week.

Videos
We've teamed up with Megawhat.tv to bring you a weekly TV show, plus a host of quick reviews, opinions, tips, tricks and much more. To access the site, you can either click on the big black button at the top of the page or the video link within the nav bar in news and reviews.

Enjoy the site.
