What is RSS reader and how do I use it? RSS readers An RSS reader will allow you to display the RSS feed in a readable format. There are a number of readers available for download, and they all work a bit differently. Here is a list of some of the readers that are available: - Bottom Feeder: http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/BottomFeeder/
A freeware RSS reader developed for Windows, Mac, Linux and UNIX. - NewsGator: http://www.newsgator.com/
NewsGator is a "news aggregator" that runs in Microsoft Outlook. It allows you to subscribe to various syndicated news feeds (such as weblogs, news sites, etc.) and have news from these sites be delivered right into your Outlook folders. - WinRSS: http://www.brindys.com/winrss/iukmenu.html
WinRSS can use "balloon tooltips" to display the news. WinRSS works differently to most RSS/XML readers, most of which display information in an e-mail reader style interface. Instead, WinRSS sits quietly in your system tray, periodically checking your favorite sites for updates. When a site is updated, WinRSS displays a summary as a Windows balloon tooltip, which you can click on to open the site. - My Yahoo: http://my.yahoo.com/s/rss-faq.html
If you have a My Yahoo account, you can integrate any RSS feed into it. - DMOZ: Offers a comprehensive list of newsreader applications.
How to use RSS After obtaining your RSS reader, paste the URL from the feed into the reader. You'll need to follow the instructions for your particular reader for adding a new feed. Psychic Readings by Psychic Advice
