I got introduced to RSS and what it could do about 2 years ago now. While building my own HTPC (home theatre PC) using a piece of software called meedio it had a “news” feature which I could “customise” to include any RSS news feed. Now I have long since stopped using meedio having discovered the wonders of Windows Media Centre 2005. :) But I still use RSS

Since then RSS has grown so much, with most news sites, blogs and podcast now offering an RSS feed. in order to make the most of this technology a good RSS reader is essential. There are all sorts available, some are standalone programs, others integrate into your e-mail client, even some browsers (firefox) include RSS. Me personally, I use an online service called Newsgator.

It’s great because you simply go to there site from any browser anywhere and you get all the news, blogs, podcast etc. that you normally would, so moving between different PC’s and locations doesn’t matter.

I’m happy to recommend Newsgator and as a result I have added the Subscribe in NewsGator Online to the sidebar and page footer. If you have a Newsgator account just click the link and it’ll be added to your feeds straight away. If you use a different RSS reader then the feeds are in the page footers or you could give Newsgator a try.
