RSS Readers: Bringing the World to Your Desktop

RSS Readers: Bringing the World to Your Desktop: "Tired of surfing? Want to hang up your board? Through the magic of RSS, now the internet can come to you. All you need is a good RSS newsreader.

If you're not clear on what RSS is, don't sweat it. It's simply an XML-based format used to syndicate articles from blogs, news content and other data. RSS turns the e-mail newsletter model on its head. Instead of having a publisher e-mail an update to you daily, weekly or hourly, they just have to create an XML file in a mostly standard format. Then you use an RSS reader to pick those XML files off the web, and translate them into easy to view content summaries. "

Looks good doesn't it!
