Really Simple Syndication (often called “RSS”) feeds have become a growing trend within the blogosphere. Most blogs out there do have RSS feeds enabled within their content management system, allowing various blog readers to keep up-to-date with blog posts on the fly. This is mainly done through hand-held devices like cellphones and PDAs.
RSS feeds can also provide a way for you to view all the blogs that you read in one place, allowing readers a way to manage the numerous blog posts into just one system. To “subscribe” to the RSS feed on a blog which you desire, just click on the RSS icon (
) within the address bar of your browser.
The personal computer can also view and read RSS feeds as well. With companies like FeedBurner, RSS feeds have become mainstream within blogging circles.
I have provided a list below of a few free readers that you can download or utilize to view RSS content:
- Google Reader – If you have a Gmail account, you may use Google’s RSS reader to view your blog content just like you check your e-mail.
- FeedDemon – This reader presents your content in a Mozilla Thunderbird style arrangement, letting you sort your blog posts by folder.
- RSS Ticker – This is a Mozilla Firefox add-on that will let you view your RSS feeds in a stock market type arrangement as it scrolls across the status bar of your browser.
If you have any favorite RSS feed readers that you use, feel free to share them in the comments of this post.
Happy Blogging!

One more recommendation for Google Reader
from me..
RSS Ticker use here. I’m a sucker for FF plugins, so this one comes natural
I personally prefer the email route.
I like Google Reader myself. I also use Feedburner to track my subscribers for my blogs.
I’ve been wanting to use an RSS feed. I’m going to try using google. I like using google docs and the chat feature on the email is really convenient.
Usually, I just subscribe via email, and I also use Thunderbird
I prefer to use email to subscribe rss
Definite RSS Ticker user. Integrates nicely into Firefox, one useful add-on!
RSS feeds are really good, and also a very convenient way of keeping track of the updates.
Sometimes counter FeedBurner for some reason shows wrong numbers
Great tools. And very important.
Thanks for your blog
Nice, i think Google Reader is the one.
