Does anyone know of a good RSS Reader?
Thanks..
Thanks..
I use Google Reader, but primarily because I do a lot of bouncing from computer to computer and having my feeds centralized keeps things manageable and updated.
A) I found on my computer Great News an RSS reader that I used to use. It's freeware. I guess it's ok.
For those of you who have an RSS reader, you know, there are 3 parts to it. The RSS Feeds, The headers, and The Articles. All of which, (in Great News, anyway,) are viewed in 3 separate panes.
What really gets me, is that when you click on ha header, it only presents a summery of the item. Then, if you want to read more, you click on the HTML link to read more. And where does that HTML link take you to? The web page.
Do all RSS Feeders work this way?
It's so counter intuitive. By clicking on the header, you are expressing an interest in reading the story. e.g. "B&B declared to be the best web site on the internet" That probably would get a click. So, the displaying of a summary of the article, is not necessary.
So, what makes one RSS reader better than another?
Thanks.
Like any other application, it depends on what you want, need and like.
Is what you are discussing here something different? At least in how you read the feeds?
Okay fellas. This is going to sound pretty dumb but I don't really know too much about RSS. I have something bookmarked for B&B and a number of other sites. I see this orange square with white lines in it on the address bar here and other places with an RSS feed. When I click on these it asks me if I want to subscribe and two or three options come up. "Bookmarks Toolbar Folder" is where I have them saved and this is available by clicking the "Bookmarks" button and scrolling down to said folder. Okay, fine. I am doing RSS I guess. Is what you are discussing here something different? At least in how you read the feeds? I was wondering since I haven't used this feature much(except for B&B) and thought there may be a better/easier way to do it. Say, something right on the taskbar? Sorry to sound so dumb. Thanks for the help.
