Many people out there don’t even know what a feed reader is, so we are going to clear it up once and for all.
For Web-based feed readers, many people choose Attensa Online, Bloglines, or NewsGator Online, all of which are free services designed specifically for reading feeds. My Yahoo! allows you to subscribe to feeds and have them display within your custom page as well.
If you prefer a feed reading program that you can install on your computer, you can use FeedDemon or NewsGator Inbox for Outlook or Attensa for Outlook if you’re on Microsoft Windows. Both tools let you switch between these programs and the Web-based reader at any time. If you’re on a Macintosh running OS X, the most popular feed reader is NetNewsWire, which can also connect to the Web-based services.
Mac users can also use the built-in support for feeds in the Safari Web browser in OS X 10.4, and Microsoft Windows users will have support for feeds in the upcoming version 7 of Internet Explorer. Anyone using the Mozilla Firefox Web browser has support for feeds built-in, as well.
Do you have a question that you want answered? So do we! But we’re at a loss for the answer to our question. So why don’t you just ask us your question at How Do I? and see if either we can or one of our many viewers can answer it? Maybe…
