What are RSS feeds?

What is a feed reader?

A feed reader (RSS Reader or “Aggregator”) is your virtual notepad where the content from your RSS subscriptions is organized. New or updated content of your favourite websites is automatically received for you.

RSS Aggregators can come in the form of a Web-based application or desktop software. Web-based RSS readers let you catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, whereas downloadable applications let you store them on your main computer (in the same way that you can either download your e-mail, or keep it on a web-based service).

Here are few popular choices of RSS readers:

• Awasu - http://www.awasu.com/ (Windows)
• Bloglines - http://bloglines.com/ (All OS, browser-based)
• Amphetadesk - http://www.disobey.com/amphetadesk/ (Windows)
• RSS Reader - http://www.rssreader.com/ (Windows .NET)
• NetNewsWire - http://ranchero.com/netnewswire/ (Mac OS X)

Several browsers, such as Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer (from version 7.0), Opera (from version 7.5), or Safari (from version 2) can also read RSS feeds.
Email software such as Mozila Thunderbird or Microsoft Outlook (from version 7.0) and the operating system Microsoft Vista, also manage RSS feeds.
